Multi-Pitch Climbing
4 pillars to safety:
- climbing skills/technic
- Topo
- Rope
- Communication (including when you don’t see each others)
Communication
Say names. Thumbs up is I’m on direct. Can also be three bug tugs Second thumbs up is you are safe you can start climbing. Could also be two big tugs
Going up
Faire attention à l’Assurage en fonction de qui est premier ou second de cordé. Voir Assurance du grimpeur en tête et Assurage du second de cordé.
Coming down
You need a twin rope to be able to go down. A single rope can be used if:
- Another group has a twin rope and goes down after you so they can pick up your rope
- You have enough of the half rope to go to the next station
- You can walk down from the top and not Rappel.
Pour descendre suivre Switch station on the way down.
