EMERGENCY NUMBERS
Get familiar with the equipment:
use only standardized mountain sports equipment (CE-sign) & study instructions for use.
Let your partner know what's going on:
communication prevents misunderstandings, let your belayer know when he has to take your weight on the rope.
Protect your head:
a helmet prevents head injuries in case of falling rocks & if you fall.
Warm up before starting to climb:
warm-up climbing protects your joints, tendons and muscles.
It is strictly forbidden to fix new climbing hooks.
Partner check before starting:
double-check your knots, harness buckle, belay system and the end of the rope.
Act respectfully:
respect other climbers & inform them of mistakes and dangers. Stick to climbing bans.
No rope on rope contact:
use always metal karabiners for rappelling. Never use two ropes in one karabiner / toprope link plate.
Full attention while belaying:
The life of your partner is in your hands.
