Balls to the Wall

Obviously we’re talking about your intense grit here. Balls to the Wall is no elementary school gym class rope climb – but it has the potential to be just as embarrassing. This monster of an obstacle will have you scaling a wall three and a half meters in the air using only a muddy rope and what’s left of your strength. Once you reach the top, work up the courage to descend the rope on the other side.

Suggested Training

Wall Sits: 3 minutes
Rope Climbs
Pull-Ups: Do 4 rounds of 10 reps.
Stair Runs

Tough Mudder Tips

You’re going to need to hold on tight to make it over and down the wall. Make sure you wipe your hands off on a friend. They’ll do the same for you.
