[@mustardman5366]

Usually you top rope someone else after you made the climb and they clean the gear coming up behind you. Or you set an anchor at the top and repel back down from it and clean your own gear coming down.

[@blueboy1958]

But then how do you get the anchor when you're all the way down???

[@EbolaWagon]

@WungusBill how much are those anchors?

[@EbolaWagon]

@WungusBill that’s not that bad I thought it would be more than that

[@BootyThumbsLLc]

You said top rope someone, I thought you meant that after getting to the top, you jump off and drop a massive elbow on your opponent below.

[@Shadowang323]

@@EbolaWagon there is permanent stainless metal hardware at the top usually. Or a tree/ rock to wrap some webbing around. Permanent hardware is pricey but some route builder put it there for the community. The last climber unties from the rope while at the archors and threads the rope through the links on the anchor and reties to the rope. You get lowered untie, and pull the rope through the chain links. ROPE!

Rock climbing is actually a really safe sport. You should try it out in a gym setting first and you will see how safe it can be. Then you can take it outside once you are confident enough

[@superman6721]

@@Sip_Dhit Anyone can rock climb. I’ve seen people take it up in their 70s. I’ve seen people climb who are missing a limb, are in a wheel chair, and even someone with muscle dystrophy. If it’s really something you want to try then go for it!

[@ExInfamous]

@@superman6721 Whenever I convince myself I could try rock climbing, Im reminded of the time I was only like 20 feet off the ground in a cool little obstacle course where I was clipped in as well. I was totally unable to go past a certain point lol I would 100% need to have some sort of spiritual awakening or some shit in order to even consider rock climbing outside of a gym.

[@Yreva0503]

Idk if this applies, but I was always taught to always have the quick draw connected to me at all times, this is coming from a sport climber and not a trad climber so idk if there are different rules with cams.

[@milan761]

I don't really get what you mean.

[@blonk333]

I think OP means a qquickdraw from your harness to the rope to keep you close to the wall when cleaning on the way down, especially on overhangy stuff

[@milan761]

@@blonk333 oh, okay I am also a sport climber not a trad climber. But I only clip the quickdraw into the rope on overhanging or sideways going stuff.

[@Yreva0503]

We were taught to always have it clipped into something so that we wouldn't drop it while climbing someplace where that would get us stuck

[@john_jacob_jingleheimerschmidt]

@@Yreva0503 at a certain point you just get good at not dropping stuff. Think about how you grab a cam from your waist then move your hand from the sling and biner to the thumb loop and triggers. Seems like a good generic rule to teach total noobs but in practice it's not necessary

[@docv73]

Usually, my partner would bottom belay my climb, then I would top belay for him, and while he was climbing he would collect the pro. Or after completing the climb, I would do a two line rappel, with one line doubled, collect the pro on the way down, then pull the line down when I was back on the ground.

[@Zack-wc5mv]

Confirmed with at least 7 cracked cranium and lose of lower ribs

[@un1xify]

I had two theories. 1) Once they get to the top, they jump off. Their weight, accelerated by gravity, and a combination of all the ones they left in the walls. Would safety remove all the equipment while slowing them down safely by the time they get to the bottom. 2) There’s a rock fairy that removes them once you get about 2-3 anchor locations ahead.

[@arpytrooper2604]

Those can take over 17 kilo Newtons of force sometimes which is good. If they'd fall out by jumping on them then you'd kinda be screwed in a fall lol

There's some hobbies that seem waaaay off on the entertainment-to-risk ratio for my taste. Like, I get that it's adrenaline, but at the end of the day I'm just climbing. Incredibly slowly. Whereas paragliding, for example, I would do. Because the thrill of literally flying like in our dreams is kinda worth the potential of falling out of the sky.

[@tonyhakston536]

PSA: Please never set up an anchor like that. The two carabiner gates need to be opposing one another. (Be sure you know what you're doing if you're going to demonstrate dangerous actives to the public🙏)

[@davidglaze5223]

@@grimreefer213 It's common good practice. The truth is, he won't have any problems lowering and cleaning the route. But you should always clip a two-point anchor with gates opposing, facing towards or away from one another. If you were to climb above it, there is a chance they could unclip each other. But even as a top rope, it's a bad idea.

[@lrgpanda9037]

I wonder how the tool you used to put in the crack for an anchor works when your above it and not putting any preasure on it?seems like it would just slip right out.

[@CornerstoneHomeImprovement]

It has springs that open/widen the lobes and apply outward pressure in the crack to keep it in place.

[@FAZE9NINE]

No , it's spring loaded so once you slip it in you need to press the release mechanism for it to detach , so it's ok when not under pressure

[@FAZE9NINE]

@@CornerstoneHomeImprovement Better than my explanation of how it works bud 👍

[@t0xyg3n74]

it's called a cam, a piece or a friend. it has egg shaped lobes that want to spring out and expand in width. without any tension they can walk a bit especially in poor placements or where the constrictions are minimal. under load it pushes about twice its load into the rock expanding it and preventing movement.
