Safety guidelines
Even if it looks tempting in movies: rock climbing in nature is not for beginners. Besides proper equipment and strength, it requires solid training and practice in belaying techniques. Because those who are properly secured hardly suffer serious accidents while rock climbing.
The 5 most important tips:
- Learn belaying techniques and never release the brake rope when belaying
- Question your rope partner's securing behavior and address errors
- Do a partner check – especially pay attention to knots
- Agree on commands and signals beforehand
- Wear a helmet, remove finger rings
