“Getting Started Rock Climbing” was a very informative article.
It listed and explained different types of rock climbing, climbing routes, type
of gear, how to belay and many more interesting things.
I never knew there was so much to learn about rock climbing.
When the article started talking about gear, it showed a picture on how it
looks, how it’s useful and how you would use it. Such as a climbing harness,
rock climbing shoes and climbing ropes. It taught you thoroughly how to belay
someone with detail and how important it is to communicate with each other.
This article also mentioned techniques to make climbing easier and made sure to
include safety tips.
One thing I really liked about this article is that at the
end it had a list of most frequently asked questions about rock climbing and
gave useful answers. I would recommend this article to anyone who has never
been rock climbing before because it was fascinating and enjoyable to read.
