Odin’s Ascent

• Strong Base & Grip: Jump to grab the rope as high as possible, using a firm grip with both hands.
• Leg Technique Matters: Use a J-hook or S-wrap method with your legs to lock in and reduce arm fatigue.
• Controlled Ascent: Climb steadily, re-locking your legs with each pull, and ring the bell with a final strong reach.

• Train Smart: Practice rope climbs with both J-hook and S-wrap techniques for efficiency.
• Engage Your Legs: Maximize leg support to conserve upper-body energy.
• Use Your Feet Well: Keep your feet pressed together for stability and prevent slipping.
