Rock climbing is a term used to describe the act of climbing a rock with the use of ropes and equipment to protect them selves from injury. The way rock-climbing works is that there are usually a two-rock climber one of them does the climbing and the other person sets up the rope and anchors.
The person securing the rock is called a belayer he feeds the rope through the hooks to the climber through a belay device. In case of a fall the be layer locks off the rope to ease the tension of the fall. The climber and the be layer both wear harnesses. They tie them off with a double bowline knot. Protection or clips into the secured rock
The protection can be removed if you are doing traditional climbing. The anchors are loaded into the cracks on top of the rock and hangers are installed into the rock. Now you have the protection set up. The climbers set the protection to the ropes with the use of locking hoops called carabineers. Always remember to secure the line to avoid a potential fatal accident.
At the top of the rock the leader sets up an anchors. Now the belayer and the climber can begin climbing together. The leader is always considered the more dangerous of the climbers because the second climber is secured a little better than the belayer.
