  3. 3Release the rope from your feet as you pull yourself up with your arms, bringing your knees towards your chest.
  4. 4Resecure your feet on the rope, and then stand up to take another high hold on the rope. Continue until you reach the top of the rope.
  5. 5To lower yourself, loosen the grip of your feet on the rope as you slide down using a hand over hand motion.
