Climbing Rope
Your life line. Nothing is as important as your climbing
rope. You most definately get what you pay for. If you are lead
climbing consider wheather it is Trad, Sport, Aid, or Ice. A single
rope is usually what most rock enthusiests will choose.

Carabiner
Can't own too many of these bad rides. Ovals offer great
versitility... opposing gates, carabiner brake rappel. D shaped carabiners
offer greater gate opening which is easier for clipping the rope.
D shaped biners are also stronger than there more versitile cousins.
Locking carabiners give you
piece of mind while belaying or setting up an anchor.
The larger the diameter of the rope bearing surface on
the carabiner the more gentle it is on your rope.
Good carabiners give your rope a longer life. |

Belay and Rappel Devices
Create friction on a rope while catching a lead climber
during a fall. Belay
and Rappel Devices also allow friction on the rope to slow a climber
down as they are lowered from an anchor or on rappel.

Climbing Harnesses
The critical qualities that make a great climbing
harness are comfort and freedom of movement. You want to make
sure that your harness is comfortable and doesn't restrict you in
any way. Harnesses with extra padding are more comfortable, the purpose
of the harness is to distribute the force of a fall to many points.
The wider the waist band, the better the force is distributed. Pay
special attention to the harness stitching and to the tie-in
points. Retire your climbing harness when it shows visible signs of
wear such as fading or abrasion, or after it has held a severe fall. |
| Some people might say that rock climbing is sport while
others would definately agree its a way of life. Whether you use a
carabiner on the weekends or not - mountain climbing to many people
is a form of meditation. Between a rock and an even harder place where
a person can find solace on the side of a cliff is a sort of spiritual
place for many rock climbers to escape and release the pressures of
everday life. |
