Do the elites get to skip the mud?!

I was really disappointed I failed the Z wall, it was a lot easier.

The question now: how do I work towards doing the rope climb?
Go practice at one of the gyms in town. There are a few different foot grips that make it so you can literally sit there all day if needed (then the arms get you up). I felt the ropes at this race were ridiculously easy (very thin and grippable). I didn't even use my legs for times' sake. Chin ups certainly help.

I felt the Z wall was more form, 'jumping' your feet to the next block while maintaining strong grip.
