Safety guidelines
Even if it looks so tempting in films: rock climbing in nature is not for beginners. Besides suitable equipment and strength, it requires solid training and practice in belaying techniques. Because if you are properly secured, serious accidents rarely happen while rock climbing.
The 5 most important tips:
- Learn belaying techniques and never let go of the brake rope while belaying
- Question your belay partner's behavior and address mistakes
- Do a partner check – paying special attention to knots
- Agree on commands and signals beforehand
- Wear a helmet, remove finger rings
