Sport Climbing There Are Two Types of Lead Climbing: Sport Climbing and Traditional (Trad) Climbing 10 Steps To Epic Climbing – Pieter Neethling You are about to begin one of the greatest journeys of a lifetime! You have probably stumbled upon this book by becoming part of the Smart Rock Climbing community. Thanks so much for taking time to sign up. When I first started rock climbing, I had a passion to give it a try but didn’t know where to begin. This simple guide and Smart Rock Climbing are the resources that I wish I had when I started climbing. This book will give you a quick look at the topics that will help transform you from a newbie to a solid rock climber. This book is meant to be a general overview and show you resources that you can use to get started in your climbing experience, whether you want to climb El Capitan or the 5.7 next door (I’ll explain what this means later). While this gives you a brief overview, the in-depth details will be in my videos and articles at SmartRockClimbing.com and at the resources that I share about in this guide. To be helpful, the information in this book is put into chapters. Though I tried to order them in a way that makes sense, they are not meant to be a checklist of items to tick off as you learn to climb. Instead of steps, they are more like ten distinct areas that you will develop throughout your climbing experience. People have asked me for advice about their climbing careers, my usual response to them is to be well-rounded in the discipline they choose whether it is from bouldering to big mountain expeditions. - Andres Marin, Rock Guide As you interact with other climbers and gain more experience, you will learn new strategies and techniques for these steps. And that’s part of the fun: facing problems and coming up with new ways to tackle them. So to help you with this life-long journey, I’ll be here to train you from the ground up. Pieter Neethling, Smart Rock Climbing PS. If you have any questions about any of the topics in this resource, please don’t hesitate to contact me on Twitter @SmartRockClimb or by email at [email protected]. I would love to hear from you.

About the Author Dedication Copyright and Disclaimer Links SmartRockClimbing.com Page 1 10 Steps To Epic Climbing – Pieter Neethling Step 1: Find a Friend I believe that rock climbing is much more fun as a team sport. Climbing is a unique way to build a solid friendship. I love being able to point out a long list of friends and say “I would trust them with my life,” because that is something that I have done with them. An early step in your climbing experience should be to find someone that you can climb regularly with. To be honest, it’s nice to have a handful of people to regularly go out with (since sometimes your regular partner isn’t available). Characteristics of a Good Partner Since you are doing a dangerous activity with a partner, you don’t want to go with just anyone. When looking for a partner, here are some things to consider: Reliability: Above all, you want someone you can trust. You are literally trusting this person with your life, so they must be reliable. If you wouldn’t trust them with your phone, car or wallet, do you want to trust them with your well-being? Listening: Much of the climbing/belaying process is about communication, whether verbally or through the tension in a rope. It’s helpful to have a partner that listens to you and responds to what you ask of them. Ability: This isn’t an absolute, but it’s nice to go out with someone who has about the same climbing ability as you. The two of you will find climbs that work well for both of you, instead of climbs that one person will be bored with or struggle with. It’s nice to climb with some more experienced climbers when you’re getting started out, but it’s usually good to climb with people at your skill level so you can develop your climbing technique together. Friendliness: You want to take someone that you enjoy spending time with. If you start doing longer climbs, you will be spending long days together. Having a friendly partner keeps things pleasant and encouraging on those trips. SmartRockClimbing.com Page 1 10 Steps To Epic Climbing – Pieter Neethling You don’t have to know everything about rock climbing to start. You just need to go with knowledgeable, safe climbers who can teach you correct techniques and who are willing to help you learn the correct way to do things from the beginning so you don’t have to correct bad habits later. - Jared Robinson, Single Pitch Instructor Where to Find a Climbing Partner? There are a variety of ways to find a partner. Here’s some simple ones to get you started: Circle of friends: Begin with the people you know. Since you already spend time with your friends, they should (hopefully) have the above characteristics. Simply asking a friend if they want to climb usually gets a positive response. I can’t tell you how many times people have enthusiastically accepted my invitations to risk life and limb to go up a rock. Meet Ups: If you go to MeetUp.com, you can sometimes find climbing groups that meet regularly. Other Websites: There are a number of websites where you can connect with climbers. On RockClimbing.com and Mountain Project you can use a search tool to locate locale climbers in your area and see what types of climbs they are comfortable with. At the rock: I have connected with other climbers at climbing spots. As we strike up a conversation, I’ve joined them on climbs and even partnered for additional climbing trips. Being nice can go a long way. At a climbing gym: At bouldering and indoor climbing gyms, you can find people who are really skilled in their climbing techniques, though some might not have any major outdoor experience. If you connect with them and share about your passion to try outdoor climbing, you may find a new climbing partner. SmartRockClimbing.com Page 2 10 Steps To Epic Climbing – Pieter Neethling Step 2: Get Some Gear Once you have a friend join you, you can buy the gear that you will need to climb. One reason to have a regular climbing partner is to split the cost of gear to make climbing a much more affordable sport. What to Get When I got started, I was overwhelmed when it came to climbing gear. My frustrations came from my lack of knowledge and support for buying gear. So that you can avoid the confusion that I encountered, I have developed simple gear guides that will help you get started. Visit the Smart Rock Climbing website for a simple checklist that will help you get started in a quick and cost-effective manner. I have done my best to give you clear and simple steps to help eliminate the fog of gear shopping. After a few minutes, you’ll have a good grasp on where to begin. Get a real list of what you really need and don’t need for climbing… I should have climbed with more people and gotten a better feel of gear. This would have really saved me a lot of money in the long run. It was very costly, especially when I started piecing together a trad rack. - John Farrell, Single Pitch Instructor SmartRockClimbing.com Page 3 10 Steps To Epic Climbing – Pieter Neethling Where to Get Gear There are plenty of places to buy climbing gear. Though I’m a fan of used books and cars, I prefer new climbing gear. Climbing technology continues to improve year after year, and having access to the most developed gear is helpful. Now if you choose to investigate the used gear route, I strongly encourage you to inspect the gear closely and have an experienced climber look over it. The last thing that you want is a major injury due to unreliable gear. In particular, I strongly encourage you to always buy a new rope. If you’re looking for some new gear, there are a couple retailers that I suggest you use. One thing I like about these retailers is that they tend to have pretty awesome return policies. So if those climbing shoes don’t seem to be the right fit, you can usually send them right back without a problem. Eastern Mountain Sports REI As a disclaimer, I believe so strongly in these retailers that I have become an affiliate marketer for them. This means that if you would like to support Smart Rock Climbing with no additional cost, simply click the links above before you go shopping. A portion of what you pay will go to Smart Rock Climbing for directing you to their site.

    Bradley and Alek's Patrasi Expedition 2014, Kanjiroba Himal. A report by Aleksey Zholobenko and Bradley Morrell. December 2014 1 Summary On the 13th of October 2014, this lightweight Anglo-Russian expedition, sponsored by the Alpine Club and the BMC, set off to the Upper Dolpo region of Nepal in order to attempt to climb the fifteen hundred meter north face of Patrasi (6450m) in the Kanjiroba Himal. Following a seven day approach (four with porters, three without) from Jumla by the Chaudhabise Khola via col 4942, a basecamp was established at roughly 4200m at the head of the Chyandayng Khola on the 24 th of October and following reconnaissance, an attempt on the face made, despite snow conditions which may be inadequately described as horrific. The attempt was subsequently aborted at around 5400m on the 30 st of October on account of one of the expedition members acquiring mildly frostbitten toes . Following a five day rest and recovery period, the expedition made an exploratory retreat down the Chyandayng Khola to avoid exposing the toes to potential refreezing on col 4942. In the process, the unsuitability of this route for approaches and retreats to the north face of the mountain was confirmed. The expedition team followed the Mugu Karnali and arrived at Talchi airport on the 12th of November. The expedition subsequently returned to the UK safely on the 17 th of November as planned. With the exception of the unseasonal storm between 14 th and 16th of October and moderate snowfall on the 25th and 26th of October, the weather was fair, with almost no cloud or precipitation.

    WORKBOOK 2016 IntrODUCTION ROCK EMPIRE started as an idea by two climbers, who were making harnesses and other climbing equipment from everyday materials like car seat belts and fire hoses in their garages. The demand for their equipment grew and the times and government changed enough that they were able to start a firm, Climbing, which quickly became Hudy Production, which is now known as ROCK EMPIRE. We, as a firm, are proud that our harnesses, slings, other textile accessories, and cams and stoppers are still made with care here in the Czech Republic and our full range of outdoor and climbing equipment is sold in over 40 countries worldwide. SOld IN Over 40 COuntrIes WOrldwIde We have grown from 3 employees to over 50, and we are still based where the company started: in the town of Benešov nad Ploučnicí - close to the Elbe River Valley´s sandstone rocks where our products were first used and tested. Today, our goals All the harnesses are ManufaCtured WIth remain the same: innovation, quality and maximum customer satisfaction.

  • MAIOLO TRAD CLIMBING Di Samuele Mazzolini - Dicembre 2013 - Rev V
    MAIOLO TRAD CLIMBING di Samuele Mazzolini - Dicembre 2013 - Rev V “Gimme danger” Settore alto Placche alte “Stairway to heaven” “C'era una volta...” “La sveltina” “Passerina crack” Le arrampicate di seguito descritte sono per la maggior parte non attrezzate, ossia in etica “tradizionale”. Le vie non liberate sono tutte “open-project”, ossia possono ovviamente essere provate da chiunque. Sarei però grato se chi riesce nella prima salita potesse comunque comunicarmi il grado proposto e le protezioni utilizzate, in modo da poter aggiornare questa piccola guida. In mezzo ai tiri in ottica tradizionale ve ne sono altri sportivi, su zone di parete non proteggibili con friend, nut, tricam o altro materiale rimovibile. Anche questi sono “open-project”. Ogni itinerario trad è dotato di un ancoraggio di calata e può essere comunque salito top-rope e provato in moulinette. Le catene del settore alto, di “Passerina crack”, di “C'era una volta in Romagna”, e delle Placche alte, sono raggiungibili utilizzando delle corde lasciate ancorate sugli alberi (controllare sempre lo stato delle corde!). Per ogni itinerario è presente una indicazione relativa al tipo di scalata, una indicazione sulle protezioni utilizzabili e una indicazione sulla difficoltà in scala inglese (tecnica e componente rischio) e in arrampicata sportiva (tra parentesi). Un eventuale piccolo cuore con le ali indica poi che la via è particolarmente pericolosa in caso di caduta, la quale può anche avere gravi conseguenze. Tutti gli itinerari hanno scritto il nome su di un sasso incollato con resina alla partenza. ! PORTARE UNA SPAZZOLA PER RIPULIRE DA EVENTUALE MUSCHIO O CROSTE.
