http://www.multipitchclimbing.com/
A site (I tripped over) that has fourteen HTML / PDF files covering such things as;
Multipitch, Rules, Physics, Gear, Leading and cleaning, Belay, Communication, Climbing as 3 or more, Simulclimbing, Descent, Cheating, Solo, Getting out of trouble, Tactics.
A bit of blurb from it's front page;This site started its life as a way of presenting the images from the ebook High: Advanced Multipitch Climbing, by David Coley and Andy Kirkpatrick. In order to keep the cost of the book to a minimum most of these were not included in the book. However the site has grown to be far more extensive and now contains much original material not in the book, together with an appendix covering most knots used in climbing, an essay on climbing grades and a bibliography in the form of web links. We suggest you print some of the PDFs and take them on your travels. We would also love you to buy the book – which costs less than a screwgate.
Remember, climbing will kill you if you mess up. If you don’t know what you are doing seek professional help from a qualified guide, and don’t rely on a book or website to keep you safe.
Caveat.
... I have not yet read any of the articles in depth so as to form a solid opinion on content, but my initial scanning of a couple of them seems to indicate that they are a reasonable resource that may interest some of the Chockstone peoples. |
