Glossary - Stone Age Rock Gym Once the leader has reached the end of the rope or a convenient resting place, either a belay station is established by the leader (outdoors only) or the belayer lowers the leader from the highest protection point (this is most common in the gym). Often a so-called "slingshot belay" is used, where the toprope runs from the climber to an anchor at the top of the climb and then back down to the belayer on the floor (this is the most common method used at climbing gyms and in climbing outrdoors at cliffs under 80 feet tall). The belayer threads the rope through a belay device (which may be a figure eight, a tuber, or an automatic lock belay device such as a Grigri). www.stoneagerockgym.com /climbing/glossary.htm   (3142 words)

Outdoor Japan - Features - Climbing Mt. Fuji - The Yoshidaguchi Trail The 6th Station of Mt. Fuji hosts the Mt. Fuji Safety Guidance Center, a place to pickup information on the climb, rest, or be assisted in case of an emergency. Some hikers choose to put coins in the cracks of the gate for good luck, and legends tell of grizzled alpine climbers using the sturdy timber as a belay point lest they be blown 2000m downhill by the wicked winds of the summit. For the crowds, a parking lot stuffed with cars, gaggles of tourists, and the Fuji Subaru Toll Road, head to the opposite end of the 5th Station—2 km southeast. www.outdoorjapan.com /features/ojfeature-climbing-fuji-1.html   (3142 words)

Twin Stream Twin Stream in the Ben Ohau Range crosses the Twizel to Mount Cook road just before the Glentanner Station and airport, permission to cross the Glentanner Station land should be obtained from Ross Ivey Ph 03 435 1843. Start on L side of the arete off the terrace, climb some short walls and move around to the right of the arete near the end of the pitch to find the belay. The large roof breaks the lower third of the buttress, at the base of the wall traverse L around the arete and across to a belay. www.geocities.com /nzclimbing/guides/twinstream.html   (3142 words)

North Carolina Climbing Guides: Granite Arches Climbing Services Multi-pitch climbing involves more advanced understanding of roped climbing systems, as the client will be required to be alone at a belay station while the guide climbs to the next belay station. Experienced and beginner climbers alike can decide weather they prefer formal instructional courses, or less formalized climbing days where the focus is on a particular climbing goal. Advanced climbing with Granite Arches follows a natural progression of physical and technical skill development based on the client's experience, knowledge and ability. www.granitearches.com /../north_carolina_climbing_guides_ge.htm   (3142 words)

Bolting Philosophy The first pro above a multi-pitch belay station must be arranged so that the leader won't hit the belayer in the event of a fall. If the leader falls on his belayer from 20 feet up, he could seriously injure his belayer, possibly preventing the belayer from maintaining control of the belay. Safe falls are now part of the sport, and grizzly risks give climbers and the sport of climbing a bad reputation. www.aaaclimbing.com /climbboltphilosophy.htm   (3142 words)

Rock Climbing.com View topic - Girth Hitch Belay Station If you girth hitch those biners with 3 legs of the cordelette, it will clutter the biner. What I don't know is if the girth hitch is a safe knot to use at this place in the protection line. Furthermore, I don't see how a girth hitch provides you a clip in point, unless you mean to clip other carabiners into your powerpoint anchor (or tie directly in). www.rockclimbing.com /forums/viewtopic.php?t=70782   (3142 words)

CascadeClimbers.com - The Pacific Northwest Climbers Resource: Useful knots / rope tricks Bowline on a bight (aka atomic clip) For fun-in-the-sun type multi-pitch it's a super fast way to anchor to a 2-bolt belay station. I've been using a variation of the bowline for attachment to my harness when freeclimbing, and it really is much easier to untie after being weighted. Climbing: figure 8, water knot, bowline, clove hitch, Munter hitch, prussik, and Hedden (or Klemhiest sp?). www.cascadeclimbers.com /threadz/showflat.php?Number=17363&page=   (1945 words)

Clyde Minaret, Sierra Nevada, California One person remained at the belay station at all times, and this saved time. Clyde Minaret (12,281') is located in the Sierra Nevada range in California. The consensus was that Clyde Minaret was definitely worthy of a future reclimb, and we agreed it was more enjoyable as a dayhike than as a backpack. home.att.net /%7Ebobsumner/Clydmin1.htm   (766 words)

The Prow, Cathedral Ledge, NH, new hampshire, aid climbing, rock climbing I really had to take a pee, but being at the Space Station Belay is tantamount to being in the midst of the Stoveleg cracks with a couple of tour busses worth of tourists eyeing you through dozens of binoculars. Mark had a nice 5th Avenue candy bar stashed into the bottom of the mini-haul bag. I ate it, but told him I dropped it while digging for more film. ghiz.org /nhprow.shtml   (1940 words)

Pinnacles Rebolting Mark notes that the 4th pitch now has a belay/rappel anchor, and that all anchors have at least one 3/8" bolt. Added final rappel station on East rappel route, so that it can be done with a single 50m rope. Replaced anchor bolts and all but the last 2 aid bolts (which were in better shape than the others). www.stanford.edu /~clint/pin/rebolt.htm   (1940 words)

North Peak, Right Couloir Once past the bergschrund, I pulled to the right side of the couloir, trying to find a good place for a belay station. At first, I thought it may be fun to climb straight up the bergschrund. The only problem with the bridge was that there were 2 other parties climbing that day, so we had to wait our turn. www.karpel.org /Ron/HTMLTrips/19990901_01_NorthPeakL.html   (1940 words)

Techniques Most multi-pitch lead climbs do not have a way to walk down from every belay station, but there is often a way to walk down from the top. The climb may be no longer than half the length of the rope; when the climber starts, the rope must cross the full length of the climb twice. In lead climbing, two people, a leader and a follower, ascend the climb in pitches: sections of the climb shorter than the length of the rope. alumnus.caltech.edu /~sedwards/climbing/techniques.html   (1940 words)

Daff Dome, South Flank - Great Circle 5.10a R - Climbing Info - Tuolumne Meadows, California USA There is a 5.11a, "It Is Finished" which has the same start as Hogwash but diagonals up to the first belay station on Great Circle. Great Circle has a crack which ends and transitions to delicate face climbing, I think this transition is the first crux. A great crack to slab route, the first pitch is 5.9; the second is more heady. www.supertopo.com /rockclimbing/route.html?r=tudsgrea   (1940 words)

What is a self belayed rappel? This sounds complicated but these are the skills you will need to climb up the rope out of a crevasse or back up to a better belay station. Slide the prussic knot down the rope with the lower edge of your feeling hand on the rappel rope, being careful to not let the knot tighten up. The bachmann knot or the klemheist knot actually work better than the prussic. www.traditionalmountaineering.org /FAQ_Self_belay.htm   (385 words)

What do you think? On a sunny weekend, almost any time of the year, it is not uncommon to encounter several groups simultaneously utilizing the belay/rappel stations on the 2nd and 3rd pitches of The Nose. All rappels would be placed so that a 50M rope could easily reach the next station or to the deck. It has been proposed that a new rappel route be established, either to the left of `The Nose' or just to the right, that could be used as a way for all climbers to descend. www.employees.org /~mbroome/sports/climbing/yseesee/uthink.html   (262 words)
