For time:

95 pound Thruster, 30 reps
20 foot Rope climb, 3 ascents (touched the I-beam on all ascents)
30 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood

20 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood
Row 10 calories (subbed 10 Burpees)
135 pound Thruster, 10 reps
20 foot Rope climb, 1 ascent (I was about 3-5 feet short of the I-beam on this ascent.)
10 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood

On the last rope climb my grip was toast. I hung there for a few seconds with my feet locked in and tried to shake out my grip...I was completely at a loss. I was about 12 feet or so in the air and could not get myself to budge at all. I was literally stuck. I did not have the grip strength to even hold on long enough to bring my feet up and regrip. I didn't want to risk falling and breaking a leg so I came down.


I stood around and stared at the rope for a few seconds until I decided to go ahead and finish the WOD and come back to it after the KB swings. 
Everything except Rows as Rx’d: 18:14 (with the last climb being 3-5’ short of the I-beam.)

I kept the clock running and did the last 20’ climb after the 10 KB swings and finished in 20:20....this put a damper on the whole WOD for me...can't really say it is legit because I DNF the rope climb within the parameters of the WOD. I did the work, but not within the confines of the WOD requirements. I probably should have come back down and then shook it out and reclimbed but I made a split decision and now I have to live with it. Still a good workout...just a bitter taste in my mouth...
