Mountain Climbing Part 8

Mounting Climbing Part 8

The climber tries to keep three points of contact (ie. two hands and a foot) with the rock; rarely does a climber jump. For safety, a rock climber uses rope, artificial anchor and carabineer, (A snap link that can be attached to an anchor and the rope passed through). The third phase of mountaineering is snow and ice technique, using ropes and sets of steel spikes attached to the boots, called crampons. MORE! [BM] {ED}
