The escalation of the past gave birth to the free climbing and aid
climbing today. The climbers then did their ascent by driving pitons
into cracks in the rock, then by attaching some sort of scale called the
stirrup in raising them (about one meter at a time), they must begin
the process more up and so on up top. This technique is still the basis
of climbing except that climbers now have more tools at their disposal.
By moving the sport adopted its own method that is to say that the
material chosen consists of easily removable cleats. Clean technology
has the advantage of preserving the rock since the material no longer
has to be pressed with a hammer.

The climbing has extended forays into vertical terrain and requires
intense concentration. This is an activity that requires a different
perception. The climbers who practice it should be patient, endure
repetitive motions and have indomitable, maybe even more than other
climbers.

Sites

The proper method allows climbers to borrow all the climbing routes, provided that is scored in any way the rocks which can be performed free climbing . Even an experienced climber wanting to develop skills in climbing lane should start with a single length. In doing so, he will better understand the complex mechanism of the climbing and the particular energy requirements. It will then address ways even longer requiring one or several days.

Classification of inland

In North America, the ways for climbing are listed from A0 to A5. Traditionally, A0 indicated the mandatory use of a movement of climbing, making it impossible to climb the route free climbing. Unlike most systems used to classify routes, the North American system is closed, meaning that means the A5 route most difficult and one rating A6 will never be added. Difficulty talking about what do us then mean? In fact, level track A5 shows the climbers as they are constantly in situations where falls can result in the death of lead climber as well as its partners. This is serious!

Materials needed

The choice of equipment for climbing is huge. Part of it is similar to the climber’s equipment for free, which is added all the equipment specific to climbing or rock bolts, hooks, nuts headed copper, ascenders, pulleys, ramps, stirrups, ropes, hammers, hauling bags and sometimes a platform for camp. In climbing, the team carries several strings: a dynamic rope for the lead climber and other static and dynamic ropes to haul and remember. Finally, in addition to everything needed a physical, mental and financial uncompromising.
