    QUICK START

    • Start standing tall, facing the barbell.
    • At “go,” pick up the barbell and complete 18 hang cleans.
      • Athletes must face the camera during the hang cleans.
    • Then, move back to the rope and complete 1 rope climb.
    • Next, return to the barbell and perform 15 hang cleans.
    • Then, perform 2 rope climbs.
    • Repeat this sequence, completing rounds of 12 hang cleans and 3 rope climbs, 9 hang cleans and 4 rope climbs, and 6 hang cleans and 5 rope climbs.
    • In the final round, perform 3 hang cleans.
    • Then, move to the rope and complete 6 rope climbs.
    • Your score will be the total time taken to complete the workout.
      • Time stops when you touch the top of the final rope climb.

    NOTES

    • Athletes may NOT receive assistance with the barbell or rope at any time.
    • For safety, the rope must be placed at least 5 feet (1.52 meters) from the barbell.
    • Gymnastics grips are not allowed during this workout.

    TIEBREAK

    • Record the time after each completed set of rope climbs. The LAST completed set will be the tiebreak time.
    • Athletes who complete the workout under the time cap will not enter a tiebreak time.
    • If athletes tie on total reps, the athlete with the faster tiebreak time will win the tie.

    EQUIPMENT

    • Barbell
      • Men are required to use a barbell with a minimum 28-millimeter diameter (e.g., a 45-lb/20-kg barbell or a Rogue C70/C70s barbell).
      • Women are required to use a barbell with a minimum 25-millimeter diameter (e.g., a 35-lb/15-kg barbell or a Rogue C68/ C68s barbell).
      • Training barbells or other specialty barbells are not allowed.
    • Bumper plates
      • Maximum of 18 inches (45 centimeters) diameter.
    • Collars
    • Climbing rope
    • Tape MUST be used to indicate 5-foot spacing is maintained between all equipment.

    Refer to APPENDIX D in the 2026 CrossFit Games Rulebook for complete equipment details and video submission standards.

    PENALTIES

    Penalties may be applied to the athlete’s total score if CrossFit HQ conducts a review of the video. CrossFit will review videos that receive significant public downvotes.

    • The following penalties will be applied from the athlete’s total score:
      • False start, moving to touch the barbell before “go” = 5-second penalty
      • No-rep on the hang cleans = 2-second penalty
      • No-rep on a rope climb, to include any reps completed with the barbell closer than 5 feet or receiving assistance steadying the rope = 10-second penalty
      • Receiving any assistance with barbell = 5-second penalty for each instance
    • If an athlete advances before completing the specified number of reps or meters/calories, their score will stop at the last correctly completed rep.
      • For example, the athlete is required to do 6 reps but moves on at Rep 4. The athlete’s score will be 4, regardless of the total number of repetitions completed after moving forward incorrectly.
    • Editing a video submission in ANY way (to include adding a clock) may result in a 0 score, invalidation, or further sanction.

    See Section 4, “Online Semifinals,” in the 2026 CrossFit Games Rulebook for video review penalty information.
