Rock climbing is a physically and mentally demanding sport, one that often tests a climber’s strength, endurance, agility and balance along with mental control. It can be a dangerous activity and knowledge of proper climbing techniques and use of specialized climbing equipment is crucial for the safe completion of routes. In Minnesota, one can imagine that most climbing is done indoors on artificial walls. Usually, climbing is done in pairs: climber and belayer. To climb, one must learn how to ‘tie in’. In the following demonstration, demo rope is used. Feel free to watch the tutorial at the bottom if needed.
