I didn't know that points from dual meets and previous conference meets counted towards this season's conference. Glad to see some people are still stuck in the past.

Ya back in my day we walked to school uphill both ways and jumped out of planes without parachutes and we liked it!

Back In My Day February 9, 2009 at 12:38pm
Back when I was swimming (I won't completely date myself), we would have to climb these ropes frontwards and backwards uphill in the snow. They wouldn't be inside some coushy high humidity warm 80 degrees pool. And we dropped into the hard ground and rocks below. And we liked it!!!
swiss should be in cirque du soleil w/those rope climbing skills
#35
Legit February 8, 2009 at 9:26pm
Keep in mind that during most of the year they do multiple rope climbs at this station. It's not getting up the thing once, its getting up 3 times WITH a weight vest on, without using your legs after 9 other stations. That's Utah style, and that's legit! Look out for this guy (and his teammates) come MWC champs!

anonymous coward u are a bit of a bellend pal, check out the name of the video then go back and check your comment, then hang your head in shame for wasting everybodys time with what u contributed. that guy basically ran up that rope! i bet the last time you ran anywhere was down your mums legs when your dad had finished!

i've definitely hated on some of the videos on here before, but give this guy some credit. that's hard as hell to do especially with wet hands and without using your legs

wow... 1 rope.. way to go.. thats why you guys never win conference.. put a few more stations into your circuit and a few more ropes...
its impressive, but how far up is this rope going? I'm pretty sure I've seen faster ( by many swimmers)

david marsh has swimmers do this. also, i feel this should not put stress on shoulders; when done properly, it should use large muscles in the lats and triceps.

Dons for life. said: “the best high school team in the country, loyola blakefield, does this same thing.
Big deal, Shoulberg has had his HIGH SCHOOL swimmers doing this for at least 30 years. I remember watching Bart Schneider hold onto a rope with each hand and climb to the top, GA has two ropes hanging over there pool. I remember watching Jeff Stewart climb the rope upside down and touch the top beam with his feet. I remember watching Jane Boyland, a 10th grader at the time, do this.

Sweet, would love to have the possibility to stuff like that with my team in norway! Fun and hard is always a good thing.
Utah does a really cool power circuit that includes some stations that feature ideas I've never seen. This is one exercise that a few other programs do, but I've never seen anyone climb this fast. February 5, 2009
Utah Circuit Preview: Station #10 Rope Climb
Can anyone tell me any other colleges that do that?
