The ground is farther away, the stations are often small and sometimes uncomfortable, communication can be difficult... It is therefore important to be organized and efficient to avoid fatigue and unnecessary stress. On multi-pitch routes, efficiency means not only safety, but also enjoyment.
Warnings
• Establish communication at the station: verbal or hand signals Communication must be clear and concise. When there are multiple climbing parties in the area, use first names to avoid any confusion • Prepare the rope and tie in correctly to avoid twists in the rope after a few pitches • Do a partner check
• Check anchor points. Tie in with a clove hitch on each anchor. Use a quickdraw as a directional anchor for the next pitch
• The leader quickly takes up the slack. Be sure to keep the rope organized, for example looped over your feet from the biggest to the smallest loop. Avoid making loops that are too large or letting the rope hang from the station, as it can get caught in a crack, vegetation... • Equalize your anchor (see Installing an equalized anchor). Design it with consideration for the quality of the anchors and the configuration of the route. Install your REVERSO. Belaying the second
• The second ties in and takes draws if necessary. Transfer the REVERSO 4 to the belay point on the harness without removing the knot under the REVERSO 4
• Clip the directional point (which should be of excellent quality). Remove the knot under the REVERSO 4. The second becomes the leader.
