The 7 Summits Club Mountaineering School participants practiced various techniques for moving along fixed ropes today
3 November, 20:00
Mountaineering School in Tuyuk-Su. Today, our training group practiced moving along fixed ropes using jumars. They learned and practiced three different techniques: one with a single jumar, one with a jumar and a sling, and one with two jumars. Naturally, after each ascent, the students rappelled down using a sling and then repeated the exercise.
After that, we practiced belaying through the terrain and setting up a station on the ledge. Then we prepared a route sheet for the next route – to Oktyabrenok via 2A. Tomorrow, we'll climb again.
Guide/instructor: Ratmir Mukhametzyanov.
