Intent

Skills and rare capacities. The name of the game today is to get outside of our common practice and get after some rope climbs. This may seem like a capacity not worth learning, but how else will you get to the safe house when the zombies come? I don’t think they can climb rope, so it’s the sure way to keep them from intruding the compound. I joke, but the fitness demanded to climb a rope, the skill it depends on and even the complexity of combining both are exactly why we must visit it periodically. We start with some skill work and refinement which will help you decide to scale the movement for a great workout and then we see how we respond when we must do it under a bit of fatigue.
