Ideally you are hitting the wilds with more equipment than this; including a larger/fixed blade knife, water container and cooking pan. However with enough practice and skill this small tin of equipment will provide so much for you.

With this tin you have the equipment to make shelter, make fire, make fishing rod, make snare, make mattress, make blanket, fix gear and signal for help.

First Lead Climb/Lead Belay On A Lead Climb Course

First Lead Climb/Lead Belay On A Lead Climb Course

The emphasis is on moving at the sharp end of the rope on a straightforward climb, placing gear, placing runners, clipping in, communication with the second, and then setting up on top.

While for the second - the emphasis is on careful and dynamic belaying, watching the leader for issues, communication; then seconding the climb, removing the placed gear and the wrap up.

ABC Rule For Climbing

ABC Rule (Anchor/Belayer/Climber) Or Straight Line Rule

This means that your climbing system needs to be in a straight line at all times.

Anchors, belayer, climber; in whatever order the system is set up; always need to be in a straight line.

If things are out of straight line and the climber slips then the climber pendulums across the rock face and these photos show what can happen to the climbing rope, as it moves across the rock face back into a straight line again.
