There is a strong consensus among scientists that our heritage is deeply rooted in both climbing and bipedalism, i.e., both swinging from the trees and functioning on two feet. While nearly all our regular movements today are bipedal, the value to survival, fitness, and combat of climbing skills is critical and largely undeveloped even in "elite" athletes.

If you have a sled or something else to push, use it, and try to mimic the lengths and difficulty as seen by the Games athletes. Post time and sled substitution to comments.
Scaling:
No one will have an Alpaca sled, but anyone can find something to push. Pick kettlebells that allow you to complete at least 5 reps of the clean and jerks when fresh. Try a more difficult version of rope climbs than you would normally do.
