Rock Climbing Jargon

If you are looking for an inexpensive extreme sport that is pure adrenaline and addicting, rock climbing may be just what you need. When you start out, you are going to need to know some of the following lingo.

Rock Climbing Jargon

Rock climbing is one of those niche sports that gets little publicity, but is incredibly popular. It also happens to be one of the more adrenaline pumping things you can get out and do. Since it is pretty much you and the face of a click, the costs are limited to shoes and the gear to keep you from falling to your death. Put another way, it isn't going to break the bank. Eventually, however, you will start planning climbing trips to Thailand and other exotic places, and it will cost a few bucks. Trust me, it is worth it.

If you are going to have a go at climbing, you need to know some of the basic jargon. Here we go...

"Elvis" - refers to the reaction of newer climbers when they first go beyond the comfort zone in the height of a climb. If you blow through 80 feet or so and start getting stressed, one of your legs may start to gyrate. It looks like you are dancing like Elvis, thus the name. To stop the Elvis, stop looking down at the ground and take slow, deep breaths.

Free climbing is the art of rock climbing without safety ropes. The advantage is it represents the purist form of climbing and is a quicker trip than with safety equipment. The disadvantage, of course, involves the fact there is nothing to save you if a fall occurs. At a minimum, we are talking broken bones. In a worst case scenario, well, you can guess. As a beginner, you should never, ever free climb.

Bouldering refers to rock climbing on large boulders found in valleys and other areas around the country. Bouldering is both fun and a good place to practice your technique. Boulders almost always have unique angles and edges, which can make them technically challenging. Since you are usually no more than ten feet off the ground, falling usually only damages your pride.

Buildering is rock climbing on buildings. Insanely fun, but also illegal. Falling is not recommended. Buildering is definitely not for the beginning climber. If you ignore this advice, make sure to take your driver's license with you so the hospital will know who you are.

Chalk is a powder used by many to keep their hands dry during climbs. The chalk is kept in a chalk bag on your waste. You dip your hands in as you need to dry them off. If you are climbing in some remote location, it is highly advisable you wash the chalk off before driving home. Officers of the law, particularly Highway Patrolmen, often do not understand the difference between climbing chalk and other off white substances. I kid you not!

How to climb a rock - the different types of climbing

To learn about climbing, these are the most common types of climbing and styles.
Bouldering - Climbing routes out to be relatively safe without the use of ropes. Security components can be a path or something similar at the foot of the slope and / or someone on the ground to draw a climber near potentially hazardous areas.
Top-roping - a traversed on a path, a point on the rope, the climber is attached by insurers to anchor. 'S insurer is then responsible for the climber is not very far. This is considered the safest way of climbing, and is ideal for the novice.
Traditional climbing - a climber or mountaineer with all necessary protective equipment to increase, and remove them, since, when she completed the career progress, nothing is left behind. This form of climbing does not damage the natural rock and leave no trace of the climbers are missing, then the environment is the best form of climbing, though perhaps not the safest.
Climbing - Climbing on all safety equipment is permanently attached to the rocks along the span or path (s).
Scrambling - basically scrambling climber uses his hands and feet to reach a route. Scrambling is usually a solo free-style, however, be used to protect the rope and advanced courses "technically" normal runways.
Free climbing - a form of climbing where the climber can be used as a backup safety device to prevent accidents, but only used their power, balance and ability to effectively implement the rise. This is in contrast to aid climbing, where climbers come to the aid of the acceleration to the top.
For Climbing - The Heads of State and Government will increase from the start with his second rope of the climber restraint. It determines whether the intermediate points of security, as they use by the rise of progress. The second to catch the climber to climbers at any point, and whisk together well, as they go.
Aid climbing - as the route to support the climber at intervals or "support" of the climb. In this type of climbing gear and the cable can be used to help reach directly the climbers are a part of the climb.
free solo - the climber climbs alone, without the use of tools. This type of climbing is probably the hazardous and potentially lethal.
Rope alone - a form of climbing where the climber with the rope from one route to solve the potentially if they begin. This could happen if free climbing or aid climbing, or even a combination of both.
Only aid climbing - this kind of dish and climb usually takes at least some 'safety or protection, but no rope. The mountain climber is as much as possible to climb and use of security tools, the circumstances required. The climber may or may not use the gear "aid" in height.
Deep Water Solo - a form of solo climbing a path where the rock is a fairly deep waters in order to protect climbers from serious injury from falls.
Concurrent (simultaneous climb) - that is, where two climbers an opportunity to progress at the same scale. As lead climbing with the exception of the roles can be reversed at some point. A traditional form of climbing, usually a climbing and safety equipment as they go to collect elsewhere.

Tehipite trip (contd)

The Kings Canyon drains to the west and the valley has about 3000-4000ft of elevation change. The native americans used to winter at the bottom due to the warmer temperatures and good fishing.

From camp we had to hike to the wall and this is just a piece of the 1300ft top half of the wall. As far as I know, no one has climbed the dihedral in this photo.

Mike and Ari setting up our line to hang the food. We had two haul bags of food for our ten days of camping. One was filled with meals and the other with breakfast and snacks. We saw bear tracks and scat while on the trip but no bears and pretty much nothing but birds. The area was burned by fire two years ago and there is very little food for anything to eat. Plus the fire must have killed many of the animals. At the beginning of the trip it took all three of us to hang the food (because it was so heavy) and by the last day or two it could be done by just one.

Our first recon on the first day to get to the wall. You can see the upper part of the dome (Tehipite Dome) that is over 1000ft of rock you are looking at. Plus notice the burn damage and the grasses coming back into the environment very slowly. We needed to use surveying tape (bright orange) to mark our path from camp to the wall because it took over an hour to get there hiking in the mornings and at night. It was too easy to get lost (as we did once) with out marking the trail. In the end, we removed all the tape and found the path of least resistance. The hike wasn't too bad, it was the mosquitoes that were no fun and the 1000ft gulley that we had to descend and hike out everyday.

Me at the last major river crossing. I chose to wear that long sleeved hoody on the horse because the bugs were so bad on the ride in and out of the base camp.
Have a great day!

Climbing Techniques - Come Forward for Success

In mountaineering, as in every other area of human activity, you will only reach its full potential if they embrace the concept of failure. Sounds paradoxical, I know, but too many climbers in their comfort zone where you can not stay ... and not much better.
The climb was the old adage: "The leader never falls". And with terrible climbing protection, said that in a good way. Even today, in certain situations, you can still make good sense. There are X-rated rooms in the United States and exposed climb, where a fall would be fatal. No way to succeed in this little beauty, for sure!
But most of the climbing is on a large scale from 0 (most secure is not always) to 10 (terminal). If the limits of your study or your experience of climbing slide, then you can look at locations close to 0 on the serious scale. That is, if you deliberately try to do more serious way, in this case I recommend to be cautious - in fact, very careful.
But suppose you onsighted F6as 20 (5.10B) with success - is not on them. It is clear that the consolidated position (if your current experience). To state the obvious difficult, more difficult routes that you have to go climbing. But it is your choice whether you stay in your comfort zone or stop. Either way is fine as long as you want.
If your comfort zone, then three months later, he had climbed another 15 F6as, bringing the total number to 35 Or maybe you have to be done for five more - all successful - and I tried 10 different routes, which are much more. If you've done this, would your scorecard as follows: 25 F6A success. Four successful F6A + and a failure. F6bs three successful and two defeats. Now you can build a pyramid and press continue to use. Sure there are a few mistakes, but as long as the routes were relatively safe to fall, who cares? (Note: All routes are potentially dangerous. Make sure a competent court must warn you all the time. If you want a helmet, a bear.)
Can you see what's going on? Instead of not avoid like the plague, you accept it as a learning tool. As long as your "average" go up then it is relatively safe, which cares about the occasional failure?
Top climbers are not afraid of the (safe) failure. They know that the profit to remain at 100% of the time, in your comfort zone. The trick is not 'Next' to success. By the way, this tactic also works well in life! Make sure you can not, where the penalties are relatively mild. But the fear of failure (not the error itself) is the biggest thing stopping most people realize their full potential. There is an old movie called climbing, "Break on Through" and that is what we should all do. Break on Through to the other - not only in climbing but in life!
Michael (Mick) Ward has climbed since 1967. 56 years, is still around 5.12 or F7B +. He made many first ascents and mountaineering written for many magazines. He has to improve.
