- 3Release the rope from your feet as you pull yourself up with your arms, bringing your knees towards your chest.
- 4Resecure your feet on the rope, and then stand up to take another high hold on the rope. Continue until you reach the top of the rope.
- 5To lower yourself, loosen the grip of your feet on the rope as you slide down using a hand over hand motion.
