Rock Climbing

Visited Camp 5 Yesterday. Tried Rock climbing.

A few rules and terms need to know and remember before climbing the wall.

1. Check on the equipment, make sure equipment are in good condition.
2. Put on Harness, and always check that both the climber’s and belayer’s harness
are properly fixed on.
3. Climber and belayer always need to communicate to ensure both are ready. Climber need to always make sure the belayer is ready before climb on.

For safety purpose, the climber will be connected with the TOP ROPE by tying the top rope to the harness using double figure 8 knot.
Always ensure the length of the free end of the rope is more the a fist long.




Climber : Climbing
Belayer : climb on

Ok ,can climb now.


One the way UP.


Shaking on top cracking head how to move on, at the same time not forget to SMILE.


To come down, need to tell the belayer "DOWN" and only move after get a confirmation from the Belayer. For coming down, just hold both hand on the rope, swift the weight to the harness. Move both leg agaisnt the wall, have a "L" shape agaisn the wall. elayer will release the rope slowly, and the climber will walk down the wall slowly.

Also had tried the Auto-belayer. Climbing up is easy but when need to let go the hand to have a free fall is hard, the heart was pumping 1000 to let go the hand, and I was struggle to let to the hand, gosh... fear of let go.



After become a "PRO" Will challenge this wall.

Rock Climbing, here I come.
