    A series of quick tips on best practices. Most have links to my detailed articles if you want to learn more. This post covers: anchor hooks, extending a quickdraw, using a rebelay to protect a fixed rope, “alpine equalization” with cams, cautions on block leading, “casting” your rappel rope, and how anchor hardware can twist your rope. (Last 3 tips are for Premium Members.)

    cavernous, łódź, nov 2025 I had a previous shot from the same position (in Zatoka Sportu at the Lodz Polytechnic University) on here somewhere, but lately they decided to put that wall to the left in. esthetically not that ideal as previously the building felt light and airy, while now it feels cramped despite all the space. I assume it had more to do with the noise from either side of the wall though. #climbing #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite
