Fact sheet - day climbing - long route climbing DAY CLIMBING - LONG ROUTE CLIMBING Climbing a long route offers a very different experience from indoor climbing or "moulinette" climbing. The notion of rope and commitment in a vertical environment takes on its full meaning. The aim of this course is to give you the technical bases to evolve independently on routes of several lengths. Knowing how to set up a secure belay, knowing how to belay, mastering abseiling. In a few hours you will discover a new universe, the "real" climbing. DESCRIPTION Facing the Mont-Blanc massif, the Chéserys site (1801m) in the Aiguilles rouges massif is perfectly suited to the discovery of climbing in large equipped routes. The Red, Yellow, White and Un Père Noël pour Lucies routes are the classic routes of the sector, which offers mainly slab climbing that is not very physical. A short distance away, the Aiguillette d'Argentière is the place to go for great photos! Climbing at Les Chéserys is an opportunity to give your climbing a new dimension. You will discover the specific techniques of climbing on equipped long routes: use of a double rope, setting up a belay and belaying the second of the rope, setting up an abseil and descending in safety.

2. the Climbing Gym Industry and Oslo Klatresenter As
Norwegian School of Economics Bergen, Spring 2021 Valuation of Oslo Klatresenter AS A fundamental analysis of a Norwegian climbing gym company Kristoffer Arne Adolfsen Supervisor: Tommy Stamland Master thesis, Economics and Business Administration, Financial Economics NORWEGIAN SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS This thesis was written as a part of the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at NHH. Please note that neither the institution nor the examiners are responsible − through the approval of this thesis − for the theories and methods used, or results and conclusions drawn in this work. 2 Abstract The main goal of this master thesis is to estimate the intrinsic value of one share in Oslo Klatresenter AS as of the 2nd of May 2021. The fundamental valuation technique of adjusted present value was selected as the preferred valuation method. In addition, a relative valuation was performed to supplement the primary fundamental valuation. This thesis found that the climbing gym market in Oslo is likely to enjoy a significant growth rate in the coming years, with a forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in sales volume of 6,76% from 2019 to 2033. From there, the market growth rate is assumed to have reached a steady-state of 3,50%. The period, however, starts with a reduced market size in 2020 and an expected low growth rate from 2020 to 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on this and an assumed new competing climbing gym opening at the beginning of 2026, OKS AS revenue is forecasted to grow with a CAGR of 4,60% from 2019 to 2033.

A Guide to Climbing and Bouldering in the City Of
Duluth’s urbanA GUIDE TO CLIMBING AND BOULDERING cragger IN THE CITY OF DULUTH by Laura Petersen and Josh Wiese INTRODUCTION If Duluth had no more long frigid snowy winters, less languorous days b rought on by happy-hour drink specials, and if Duluth only had world-class bouldering - this town would be a climbing mecca. Instead we're stuck with winter as the longest of our four seasons, cheap drinks abound to help us deal, and climbing that's world-class only if your world goes no farther than the Minnesota state border. These conditions have bred a hardy group of audacious drinkers, imaginative but intrepid adventurers, and bold but humble climbing styles, that can brave cold, rain, and mosquitoes. The hearts of most of Duluth's climbing tribe lies an hour north at Palisade Head, Shovel Point, and the Inland Domes, but modest urban crags in and around town offer enough to keep everyone almost satiated when not up the shore. This guide is the first attempt at providing a comprehensive look at Duluth's urban crags. The focus is on bouldering since that's mostly what we've got. Roped lines are also included where they've been established. A few disclaimers are probably appropriate here. This guide s hould serve as a reference to point people towards climbing locales in town. Anything beyond that is just hyperbole and shouldn't be trusted. Many of the Y'S PEAK. lines may have names other than what we've given them, grades that are more appropriate, and 'must be told' first ascent stories that we didn't bother to THE SADDLE STONES NEAR EL research or include.

Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Phd in the University of Hull
THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Hybrid climbing bodies: the climbing assemblage and the technologically mediated engagements and ascensions of rock climbers being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD in the University of Hull by Paul Richard Barratt BA (Hons) September 2010 i Abstract This thesis contributes an Actor Network Theory inspired approach to the study of rock climbing to argue that climbers are more-than-human fusions comprised of the human and non-human. The research explores this notion of hybrid climbers, which I term the ‘hybrid climbing assemblage’. The complicated relationships between these human and technological co-agents of climbing are durable but dynamic, although technological developments aid climbers, the benefits of these fusions cannot be reduced to physical, technical and mental elements. Rather, each piece of technology worn or carried by the climber has its own situated set of relations which are interwoven into the complex socio-technical assemblage that co-constitutes the present day climber. Empirical data to support this study has been collected via participant observation, and interviews with 40 rock climbers based in northern England. Although some of these voices debate the roles of these technologies and their experiential impacts upon climbing, these developments are not necessarily damaging to the experience. Indeed, climbers are careful to retain the ‘desirable’ and ‘essential’ experiential aspects of the activity – notably the risk and uncertainty climbing entails. Finally, the thesis also adds to debates concerning the materially mediated experience of places, and how places are also involved in the development of socio-technical assemblages and their practices. In these ways this research aims to help us rethink our activities as implicitly mediated by technology.

Nerriga Climbing Guid E February 2006
Nerriga Climbing Guid e February 2006 Compiled by David Cameron Sandstone Cliffs near the Austin Powers Ledge “Significant Roadside Attraction” Photos David Cameron Secret New Crag Pssst… want to climb at a secret new crag. Well not so secret since it was discovered in the early 90’s by Brogan Brunt. Since then it has been frequented by Andy Bull, Tony Barten, Tara Sutherland and Richard Watts amongst others. Around 2000-2001, Gav Oliver and Cory Sawyer discovered the area again-again. The Nerriga climbing area is located just within the boundaries of the Morton National Park on the Nerriga to Nowra road. Tread lightly and take all your rubbish out with you. We recommend the area adjacent to the “Significant Roadside Attraction” not be climbed on because of its historical importance as a convict built road and the suicidal nature of belaying on the edge. Disclaimer Rock Climbing and associated activities are inherently dangerous and potentially deadly.

All comments, suggestions, recommendations, reports, and content of these pages are to be considered only opinions from non-expert sources.

Climbing Merit Badge Pamphlet
climbinG BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MERIT BADGE SERIES CLIMBING Note to the Counselor Young people today seek greater challenges, and climbing and rappelling offer a worthy challenge. The satisfaction of safely climbing a rock face is hard to top. While introduction of the Climbing merit badge in 1997 spurred interest in these activities through the Boy Scouts of America, the proliferation of climb- ing gyms and facilities has also made climbing and rappelling readily available throughout the United States. This increased interest has made the BSA more aware of the inherent risks of climbing and rappelling. More accidents occur during unit rappelling than during council-managed climbing or rappelling, and more accidents have occurred during rappelling than climbing. Many climbing and rappelling accidents could be avoided by having qualified instruction from a conscientious adult who has the attention and respect of the youth entrusted to his or her care. Supervision by a caring adult who fully understands and appreciates the responsibility he or she assumes helps assure safety when youth engage in or prepare for climbing or rappelling. The adult supervisor’s relationship with youth should reinforce the importance of following instructions. The adult leader in charge and the climbing instructor share this responsi- bility. The instructor is responsible for all procedures and for safely conducting the climbing/rappelling activity. The adult supervisor works cooperatively with the climbing instructor and is responsible for all matters outside of the climbing/ rappelling activity. 35873 ISBN 978-0-8395-5001-3 ©2006 Boy Scouts of America 2008 Printing Climb On Safely is the Boy Scouts of America’s recommended procedure for organizing BSA unit climbing/rappelling activities at a natural site or a specifically designed facility such as a climbing wall or tower.
