If rope climbs and overhead squats are your jam, then get a good warm up in, dose up on caffeine and see if you can finish this!
This workout is a variation of one I did at the 2023 CrossFit Games, but I've adjusted it for an individual effort, and made it slightly more finishable ;).
It will test your grip endurance on the rope climbs, and then overhead squats while under fatigue.

-
10/7 Calories Ski Erg
-
1 Legless Rope Climb
-
Max Overhead Squats (40/30kg)

2 minutes rest
You will continue with this format until 80 OHS are completed, or 4 rounds are up.
Scaled Options:

Lowered weight on barbell
-
If no legless rope climb: scale to 2 regular climbs or 5 strict pull-ups.
-
If you're proficient at legless rope climbs, then challenge yourself by starting from seated (with feet off the floor as you start your pull)
Tips:
The 2-minutes rest is a good amount, so don't be afraid to push hard on the working intervals. Find a good rhythm on the overhead squats and keep repping out!
