10 commandments of climbing
|
Just caught a climbing gym employee teaching a co-worker to lower through bolts when cleaning a sport route instead of rappelling off. Debate aside, I wanted to create the 10 commandments of climbing. |

#1 for a century or more. The Leader Shall not Fall. That's the most important rule, and was true up until sport climbing began and encouraged taking repeated screamers on bolted routes. As an old traddie, I still do not find any comfort or pleasure in needless falls. |

Thou shall not urinate at the bottom of a route if there's no rain in the forecast. |

This block was discovered in 2011 when it was dislodged and fell out of the route Meatgrinder in Yosemite Valley. Many hands have jammed this block as one of the few thank god holds along the route. |
