Safety guidelines
Climbing is for the sure-footed with no fear of heights
It may look tempting in the movies, but rock-climbing out in nature is not for novices. In addition to the right equipment and physical strength, climbers need sound training and practice in belaying techniques. It’s a fact that hardly any serious accidents happen in rock climbing if belaying is done correctly.
5 top tips:
- Get to know belaying techniques and never let go of the break rope when belaying
- Scrutinise your climbing partner’s belaying and point out any mistakes
- Do a partner check – paying special attention to knots
- Agree on commands and signals beforehand
- Wear your helmet and take off any rings
