A strongman can lift boulders and heavy weights, and fight. But can a strongman climb? Legendary athlete Eddie Hall set out to find answers to this question. With some help, the star decided to learn rope climbing. Although the 374lbs star wasn’t sure how far he’d get, he was willing to try.

In a YouTube video on his channel, Hall introduced the challenge to his fans. Simply enough, the goal was to scale up a thick rope without slipping or falling. However, the challenging part was the grip and his weight. To help him out and show him the ropes, he had ex-Royal Marine Sam Sherrif. Let’s see if Hall was successful after all!
