Safety guidelines

Even if it looks so tempting in films: Rock climbing in nature is not for greenhorns. In addition to suitable equipment and strength, you need sound training and practice in belaying techniques. Because if you are properly secured, serious accidents hardly ever happen when rock climbing.

The 5 most important tips:

Learn belay technique and never let go of the brake rope when belaying.
Question the belaying behaviour of your rope partner and address mistakes.
Check your partner - pay special attention to knots
Check commands and signs beforehand
Wear a helmet, take off finger rings
