How to Do the JROTC Rope Bridge
- 1). Suit up. You should wear the full outfit of the JROTC in your area. This includes boots and your entire outfit. You can complete the rope bridge sans gloves; however, you may want to wear some to avoid wear and tear on your hands.
- 2). Stand at the base of the rope bridge. Take a few deep breaths and gather your strength. If you feel fatigued, you may have a hard time crossing the bridge in one go.
- 3). Grab hold of the rope. Position your body horizontally with your head facing up to the sky. Wrap your ankles around the rope and one on top of the other. This will support your body as you navigate the rope bridge. Use your arms to pull yourself across the bridge. Pull with one arm and then place your other arm in front and alternate pulling motions. Perform this until you fully cross the rope bridge. Allow your feet to hit the ground and then take off further down the course if necessary.
