Rock Climbing

“CLIMB MOUNTAINS NOT SO THE WORLD CAN SEE YOU, BUT SO YOU CAN SEE THE WORLD.”

hese are some of the most important hints and tips BYCI can offer to help you have a better time hiking. Some are discussed on other pages of the magazine, while others are miscellaneous items just listed here. Have a great hike!

• Drink often to stay hydrated.

• Wear enough clothing for warm.

• Carry enough water for the day and your pack will get lighter as the day wears on.

• Embrace Leave No Trace ethics - using the open spaces is not a right but rather a privilege.

• Small snacks often will keep your energy level up rather than waiting for a big lunch meal right after you’ve emptied your body’s reserves.

• Leave your plan with someone back home. And when you arrive at your destination. Call your family and friends first. Just incase any emergencies.

• Keep a small amount of surplus .

• Bring sun protection facilities.

Mountain climbing has always been multi-dimentional and it covers hikes in lower ground to higher mountains.

"Mountain climbing is one of the most interesting and smart games invented by human being."

Success come to those who hang on the longest. Remember there are never any traffic jams on the extra miles.

Rock

climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal is to reach the summit of a formation or the endpoint of a usually pre-defined route without falling. Due to the length and extended endurance required and because accidents are more likely to happen on descent than ascent. Rock Climbers do not usually climb back down the route. It is very rare for a climber to downclimb, especially on the larger multiple pitches. Professional Rock climbing competitions have the objectives of either completing the route in the quickest possible time or attaining the farthest point on an increasingly difficult route. Scrambling, another activity involving the scaling of hills and similar formations, is similar to what is like for rock climbing. However, most rock climbing is generally differentiated by its sustained use of hands to support the climberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight as well as to provide good balance. Rock climbing is a physically and mentally demanding sport, one that often tests a climberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength, endurance, agility and balance along with mental control. It can be a very dangerous activity and that is why knowledge of proper climbing techniques and the usage of specialised climbing equipment is crucial. Because of the wide range and variety of rock formations around the world, rock climbing has been separated into several different styles and various sub-disciplines.

Rock

climbing used to be considered the preserve of adrenaline junkies, but in recent years it has broken into the mainstream sports filed. A growing number of people in search of new experiences and outdoor adventure have been getting a taste for the crag in climbing centres around the country. According to estimates from the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) there are about 5 million visits to climbing walls each year in the UK. As a result it is a trend to find out about rock climbingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique physical and mental challenge, how to get started and the life skills it provides.

ALWAYS CONTINUE THE CLIMB It is possibile to do whatever you choose.

只要开始下降，就无法退缩，必须克服恐惧与障碍，坚持到底。从自我激励，自我控制到超越自我，最终走向成功。天空很高，丛林很密，人很小，坠落很容易，对生命很依恋。在危险中挑战与生俱来的恐惧感。 If you’re a rock climbing enthusiast, you can reap some significant health benefits by regularly participating in this type of exercise. Rock climbing can provide you with both emotional and physical health perks. However, if you do participate in rock climbing, make sure you have proper training and follow safety precautions. BYCI guarentee you the best climbing exeriences.

Health Benefits: Calorie Expenditure Perks Rock climbing is an excellent calorieburning exercise, which can help you achieve or maintain a healthy body weight. Harvard Health Publications reports that a 155-pound person burns about 818 calories hourly during a rock-climbing ascent and 596 calories per hour while rappelling. If you’re overweight or obese, burning just 500 calories more than you eat daily can help you shed 1 pound per week. Chronic Disease Prevention Rock climbing on a regular basis is an excellent way to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, high blood.

how to rock climb

Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation. 技巧是经验，思考和热情的完美结合 ---John Ruskin（约翰.骆斯丁）

Now imagine a 1,000-foot tall vertical rock wall filled with cracks and outcrops that are so obvious and so easy to find that you can climb it like you climb a ladder. Rock climbing has always been landing in somewhere between these two extremes . In the easy case there isn’t really any skill involved at all. As long as a person is in decent physical shape, it’s possible for just about anyone to climb a rock like this. As the rock gets smoother and the handholds get farther apart and smaller, the climber begins to enter the realm of nuance and finesse. The climber usually must be able to find adequate handholds and footholds, balance on them in often very precarious positions.

SKILLS

HOW TO ROCK CLIMBING 攀岩技巧

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

Probably the easiest and safest way to get started in rock climbing today is to go to an indoor climbing facility and take lessons. There you will learn the basic techniques in a safe environment, build your strength and skills, and meet other climbers. Any major city will have two or three climbing gyms in the area. Once you understand the basics, you can find a partner and head out to start on easy sport routes. As you gain experience, you can move up to more advanced routes. 现代最简单和最常见的攀岩方式可能就是室内攀岩了。室内攀岩有完全，先进和安全的设施还有教练进行安全和训练指导。初学者建议从室内开始。 Many climbers never move beyond sport climbing because they like the safety and speed of using pre-placed bolts. If you want to try advanced routes, or routes in remote areas, then you can learn how to place protection and try out traditional climbing. In making the jump to traditional climbing, it is essential to find a partner or hire a guide/instructor with traditional climbing experience so that you can learn how to safely place protection yourself. Now you have an idea of how to get started. And, you’ve learned that there are several forms of rock climbing, and that each requires different levels of skill. Strength, stamina and control are integral to mastering the sport. Some other important aspects are the equipment and climbing technique. In the next section we’ll take a look at the equipment and technique involved in sport climbing.

Lead Climbing and Belaying The first climber to climb the route is known as the lead climber. While he/she is climbing, the lead climber is protected by the rope attached to his/her harness. The other end of the rope is held by the second climber, who is known as the belayer. The belayer runs the rope through a belay device attached to his/her harness and feeds rope out as the lead climber rises. The two requires good cooperation. 第一个攀岩的人通常叫做“领导攀岩者。”当他开始的攀岩的时候，他都会绑上安全绳索来保证人身安全。而绳索的另一端会绑在另一个队员身上。

“青少年时期是一个人思想，人格态度，行为，形成的重要阶段。

aintball is a sport in which players compete, in teams or individually, to eliminate opponents by tagging them with capsules containing water-soluble dye and featuring a gelatin outer shell propelled from a device called a paintball marker (commonly referred to as a paintball gun). Paintballs are composed of a non-toxic, biodegradable, water-soluble polymer. The game is regularly played at a sporting level with organized competition involving major tournaments, professional teams, and players. Paintball technology is also used by military forces, law enforcement, para-military and security organizations to supplement military training, as well as playing a role in riot response, and non-lethal suppression of dangerous suspects. Games can be played on indoor or outdoor fields of varying sizes. A game field is scattered with natural or artificial terrain, which players use for tactical cover. Game types in paintball vary, but can include capture the flag, elimination, ammunition limits, defending or attacking a particular point or area, or capturing objects of interest hidden in the playing area.

在这一时期引导他们正确面对压力和挑战，正确地认知社会环境和同龄伙伴，对他们未来的成长至关重要。近年来，由北京团市委协调，各种主题的具有青少年营地特征的活动如雨后春笋，渐次出现。这些活动如星星之火，为首都的青少年特色教育不断增添亮色。” ---常宇共青团北京市委书记
