发帖数: 227 | 1 I took a friend climbing last weekend and wrote this to him afterward. I
want to post it here just so this could reach a bigger crowd, This post
could sound boring and be a waste of your time, but if it can prevent one
accident, I guess that time "wasted" will be counted as worthy. Thanks for
reading.
I came back this weekend and then realized there's one thing I
didn't emphasize enough out there. Which is the importance of safety.
By taking you into trad climbing, I introduced some powerful tools
for getting up and down a rock to you. After doing it for a while, you
will be able to master them so they will feel like second nature.
However, It's also very easy to develop a false sense of safety simply
because you get used to it.
I want to emphasize that climbing is an activity that requires
constant attention and focus. It will not become safer simply because
you have done it a lot. Instead. safety is ensured by constantly
questioning the reliability of your process and the judgement you
made. And a good habit of double/tripple check even when you are tired
or in a hurry. So, before you do more climbing, I want to encourage
you to think more about the redundancy of your system. And develop a
process in which you are constantly cross-checking the error of
previous steps. And more importantly, Your strategy for deciding
what/when/where/whom to climb(with). Learn to factor all the variables
in to your risk management process.
At last, as shown by all my mentors, modesty is always the most
important quality of a good climber. It keeps you humble, brings you
friends and keeps you safe.
OK, thats all, Happy Climbing. Dude. | T*********e
