Rock Climbing SOP

Posted on
  • Only use words “TAKE” and “SLACK” in positive, unambiguous logic.
    • Never say things like “Don’t take”, “I’ll take some slack”, etc…
  • Use Pointing and Calling for all safety checks
  • When cleaning, leave the last quick draw under the anchor clipped in as a back up, if possible
    • You have to swap the rope ends when you go up, which is not always feasible
  • Take some extra locking carabiners in case you lose one
