Rope Climbing&Swingover technique - How to climb ropes for Obstacle Course Races (OCR)

Rope climbing is an important skill for all OCR / Survivalrun / Spartan race athletes etc. Here Rutger from Uppsala Survival demonstrates how to properly climb up a rope and swing over a top rope. This can also be done over a top log.

The same technique can be used by athletes in all obstacle course races, spartan races, crossfit etc.



UPPSALA SURVIVAL
Uppsala Survival IF is an YMCA-connected sports club that practices the dutch sport Survivalrunning, which is a variation of OCR running!

The obstacles of Survivalrunning are mainly made out of logs, ropes and nets and demand proper technique from participants. This is combined with trailrunning and a normal race is between 6 and 20 km, with 30-80 obstacles mixed in.

At our course in Uppsala we regularly practice these obstacles together!

On our channel we post videos from pratice, technique tips usable for OCR runners / Spartan runners etc as well as survivalrunners of course!
