	Lead climbing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lead climbing is a technique used in rock climbing an unprepared surface.
		One climber "leads" by climbing a short distance, then attaching protection to the rock surface, while he is belayed by the climber below.
		Lead climbing is generally considered more dangerous than top roping, where falls can be closely controlled, though its increased level of difficulty and commitment tends to attract more experienced climbers who may be more safety-conscious.

	Techniques
		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.
		Lead climbing places fewer restrictions on what can be climbed than top-roping.

		In rock climbing, the climber and the belayer are connected by a climbing rope.
		When a climber is using short difficult climbs with only the protection of a spotter, to increase her skills, she is said to be bouldering.
		In gym lead climbing, the protection is permanently installed in the wall, but in outdoor lead climbing the protection is installed by the lead climber as he advances.

	Tradgirl Climbing FAQ - Leading
		Climbing is not just about taking risks; it's about managing risk, which, in my opinion, is a much cooler thing to know how to do.
		I said that the best moments in climbing are when you lead past your limit, where "limit" is what you believe you can do, or what you've done in the past.
		Leading (sport as well as gear) requires one to focus on the aspects of climbing and not being so overwhelmed with the prospect of falling that one is unable to commit to a move.
