CTAC: Fixed-point Belay Testing
- Wed, Aug 21, 2019 from 06:00 PM to 09:00 PM
- Climbing Technical Advisory Committee (PCE)
- The Mountaineers
- iCal
Fixed-point belaying of a leader is a relatively new technique for recreational climbers, but is beginning to gain popularity in North America. The goal of this evening is for CTAC members to get hands-on experience with this unfamiliar technique, to supplement the committee's online research. Our goal is to understand the strengths and weakness of this technique relative to a traditional off-the-harness belaying of the leader.
