Daniel Burnham Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 There has been talk about pole climbing before. Rope is preferable for gripping and generally they go higher than accessible climbing poles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Douglas Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I also had a discussion with iirc josh naterman about potential elbow issues from pole climbing done this way. I also find the pole easier so naturally rope is superior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Douglas Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What ?! i tried pole climbing and it's a lot harder than the rope for me x)For all I know its just a factor of broad palms and stumpy fingers. Ropes better, move on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I don't like how the body is placed beside the pole, unnatural. If u straddle and place the pole between your legs, your manhood is at risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katharina Huemer Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I personally think that climbing a pole is a lot easier climbing than a rope, if you use your legs. But without legs, I think that rope climb is easier! Maybe because it is a little "squichier" and you can really grad it!I guess it could be a pretty good substitute but I really don't know if it could injure yourself by doing that...I have to say: just work on Foundation! 3 Months after staring Foundation I could climb a 20ft rope when I tried it for the first time in perfect straddle and pike and now I am working on climbing it reverse and in V!Good luck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David McManamon Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 If the pole is a bit sticky there is a basic climb done in the Chinese pole community this is moderately interesting:http://youtu.be/9r9cT7J9Clc?t=7s The problem with that climb compared to rope is the limited range of motion available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katharina Huemer Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Tried that today and I somehow feels it is harder on the elbow than rope climb...I think if you are prepared and have good rope-climbing strength it could be fine, but I personally wouldn't do it on a regular basis if I hadn't climbed rope for some times before! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Lindsey Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 There seems to be an assumption here that everyone has access to a rope. This is not, in most circumstances, the case. The guy in the video is using what may be the only equipment available. While I won't argue the pros and cons of rope vs. pole climbing, I will assert that what he is doing is far better than the alternative, which may be to do nothing at all.
