Climbing 2
Muscular Strength
Climbing Drill 2 is a higher intensity drill than Climbing Drill 1. Conduct Climbing Drill 2 in the Sustaining Phase to prepare for critical tasks under a fighting load such as climbing, traversing a rope, and pulling the body up on a ledge or through a window. Increase resistance by performing Climbing Drill 2 wearing ordinary clothes (known as ACU), load bearing equipment or load bearing vest, improved outer tactical vest, and advanced combat helmet, and carrying an individual weapon. Due to the heavier load, spotters need to be ready to assist much earlier in Climbing Drill 2. The goal is to perform 5–10 repetitions of all five exercises unassisted. Except for the first exercise, Flexed-Arm Hang, the five exercises of Climbing Drill 2 are the same as Climbing Drill 1.
