If you cant climb the rope you cant graduate, simple as that. You will fail the O-course if you dont make it up the rope no matter your time through the obstacles and the opening part of the CRT is a rope climb wearing your war gear and weapon, so good luck with that if you cant do it in boots and utes.
One thing I didnt have very prepaired when I went was load bearing. Your gonna do a lot of stuff that just running will not do much to prepair you for. I was fine with cardio ect with running but firemans carry was a ***** for me at first and humping with a full kit is a lot harder if your a short skinny guy like me if you arent used to it. When they say hike they dont mean slowly 3mph may not sound that fast but when your carrying all your gear up what seems like a never ending hill it is. And if your at the end of the column you end up running a lot because people in front of you two platoons up keep buddy f*cking you by running to close up gaps.
