Safety guidelines
Even if it looks tempting in movies: rock climbing in nature is not for beginners. Besides suitable equipment and strength, a solid training and practice in belaying technique are necessary. Because those properly secured rarely have serious accidents when rock climbing.
The 5 most important tips:
- Learn belaying technique and never let go of the brake rope while belaying
- Question the belaying behavior of your rope partners and address mistakes
- Do a partner check – especially pay attention to knots
- Agree on commands and signals beforehand
- Wear a helmet, remove finger rings
