Lesson 5 - Rock Climber

Rock Climber

During spring break, you and your friends decide to go to the mountains and take some rock climbing lessons. Your guide is really knowledgeable and you listen to everything he says about equipment and safety and always being able to count on your partner. The Number 1 rule is that you should never climb alone. You choose to partner with your best friend. You have been through everything together. After setting up the belay point for your rope, you begin to climb with your partner holding the safety rope. As you reach a spot approximately twenty feet above the bottom of the start of the climb, your instructor tells you to deliberately fall back on the safety rope. If your partner does not hold you with the safety rope, you will be seriously injured.
