...If you’re climbing in dry conditions (summertime climbing only, etc.), save some money and buy a dry rope. They don’t handle ice and rain very well, but they’re dramatically cheaper than non-dry ropes....
Hmmmmm.
Hmmmmm.

[quote]What about belaying?
Belaying is a vital aspect of top-roping. It is also been overcomplicated by climbing gyms and equipment fanatics. In an ideal scenario, the belayer will have their own harness, a belaying device, and a pair of heavy duty gloves. In a pinch, you don’t need any of these things. Take the other end of the rope and wrap it around a tree. Keep the rope taut as the climber progresses up the cliff, and use the friction from the tree to prevent him from falling if he loses his grip.
This sounds too simple to be effective and you’ll probably be yelled out by “experienced rock climbers,â€

Climbing Shoes
I have several friends who top rope intense routes in hiking boots.
So you mean to tell me I've wasted over $240 buying climbing shoes when I never even needed them? Thanks for recommending them "experienced rock climbers"
