 MOUNTAINEERING APPARATUS



Following tools are commonly used in mountaineerig :


HELMETS

You must choose a helmet that is specifically designed for climbing.Their are two main types of helmet currently available - "Standard" and "Lightweight".

STANDARD HELMET

Standard climbing helmets have strong, fiberglass shells with shock-absorbent foam linings.The substantial, Y-shaped chin strap is attached to the internal cradle at 4 different points, ensuring that the helmet will stay firmly on the head despite blows from any direction.

LIGHTWEIGHT HELMET

While many climbers prefer the comfort of lightweight helmets, they offer less protection than standard ones. The basic design is the same as for standard helmets, but the shells are often made from other materials such as polycarbonate and thermo-plastic, and, in the  most expensive models, from carbon fibers.

HARNESS AND BELT

To attach your climbing rope for safety and comfort, choose a climbing belt or a sit harness. Both belts and harnesses are designed to spread the load in the event of a fall.

CARBINERS

Often called "biners" these metal snaplinks, with sprung opening gates, are used as connections between a rnage of clinbing equipment. Made of steel or less hardwearing aluminium alloy, they come in various shapes and sizes. They have a breaking strain around two tons

DESCENDERS

Made from a strong but lightweight alloy, these variable friction devices are used to control the speed of rappel. Descenders  connect both to your harness and the rope. They are also used for belaying.                     Common forms of descenders are:

FIGURE-EIGHT                        The most common form of descender. It is widely available and fairly simple to use.

ANKA                                    This offer different degrees of friction, depending on how the rope is threaded.
























THE RIGHT ROPES Your climbing rope is the most important of safety equipment that you will use, and as such must always be respected accordingly and treated in the correct way. It is not sufficient to use ordinary rope - you must make sure that you use one that has been specifically made for climbing, Such ropes are dynamic (which means that they stretch slightly when they are under load) and this helps them to absorb the shock of any fall, which effectively increases the breaking strain. Climbing ropes are sold in two standard lengths: 45m and 50m (150ft and 165ft).

ROCK BOOTS

When it comes to rock-climbing footwear, rock boots represent the state of the art. They are ideal for harder climbs with smaller footholds, because they offer excellent friction and allow you to "feel" the holds. They are  worn very tight, which mean that they are not particularly comfortable.
