HOW TO CLIMB A ROPE LIKE SOLDIER

Rope climbing is a skill required by most branches of the armed services. In the UK's Royal Marines, recruits must be able to climb a 30-foot rope while carrying over 30-pounds of kit. This is not only a test of strength and fitness but a test of confidence and bravery. 30-feet can feel very high when you are hanging from exhausted arms and waiting for the training instructor to give the order to descend! 

Rope climbing might seem a somewhat antiquated skill, but it’s one that could save your life. Helicopters sometimes cannot land and have to hover over their intended passengers. Climbing up into a helo could save your life. 

Cliff assaults may also involve rope climbing. Trained mountain leaders usually scale the face and then hang ropes for other team members to climb. Rope climbing is also a great way to develop confidence for working at heights and will strengthen your entire body – from your arms to your legs and everything in between.
