Simple Rock Climbing Tips

1. Always Use 3 Anchors For Your Set-Up
2. Each Anchor Should Be Very Tight & Equally Tensioned



3. Before Beginning To Belay Keep Your Dead Rope Well Back Out Of Your Way & Out Of The Way Of The Climber Once They Arrive On Top



4. When At Home Store Your Slings, Prussics & Rope Loose Like Above, To Avoid Eventual Warping/Damage. Also Keep Stored Away From Heat, Sunlight & Bright Light



5. When In Use Carry Your Slings Like Above. They Are Kept Neat & Ready To Open Up Quickly



6. Always Use Rope Protectors, Not Just From Sharp Edges; But Dirt, Mud & General Rock Rubbing. Plastic Fertilizer Sacks Work Great



7. Avoid Using Bolts/Chains. This Bolt Is Obviously Damaged, But They Can Look Shiny Outside & Be Damaged Inside. You Know The Full History Of Your Own Gear & Will Tend To Place It With More Thought Than A Quick Clip Into A Bolt



8. Once Set-Up You Should Be On Extreme Cliff Edge, Able To See & Hear The Climber. You Cannot Afford Any Miscommunications
