How to make a rock climbing buffer

Falling in the buffer is a very important part in the pioneering climb. The function of the buffer is to slowly release the downward force formed during the fall, rather than stopping short. If there is no buffer or the buffer is not given properly, the weight of the entire body at the moment of falling is concentrated on the waistband of the seatbelt, and the leg loop is secondarily followed. On this seatbelt, you may strain your waist and squeeze out the air in your lungs. You will hear a bang. In another case, if the wall with a straight wall or a negative angle rushes down, the foot will slam on the rock wall. The ankle and the knee joint will be subject to great impact and will be easily injured. When the foot is stressed, the legs must bend and give the knee a cushion.

The buffer is not simply a rope, and it just stands still. The buffer is best when the rope is stressed due to a fall. The protector gently jumps up with this pull, so the cushioning is generally appropriate. Good cushioning can resolve many dangerous falls, and climbers will not feel uncomfortable because of falling. How much protection must be buffered must be estimated based on actual conditions. The following are some of the issues that Wild Climber often encounters.

1. The climber's feet are wound around the rope

The rope is crushed around its feet, and the feet are easily burned or loaded, and the back of the head is shot on the rock wall. When the Pioneer had a rope around his feet, he should be reminded to protect him by asking him to take his feet out of the rope. He should not cry out loud, nor could a large group of people cry below. The more he shouted at him, the more nervous he would have been. All were shouted by you. Climbing feet are more or less dangerous when the foot is wrapped around the rope and when it is loaded. If it is a straight wall, there is a lot of danger. When the inevitable fall, try to take the foot out of the rope as soon as possible. . It is recommended that everyone wear a helmet.

2. Climber or left or right off course

At this time, the sinker will fall and the climber may swing. At this time, the protector needs to give some more buffer to drain the swaying force and it will not swing after being evacuated.

3. When the climber rushes over a platform or over a raised object, it does not matter if there is less buffer, as long as it does not fall on the platform and hits a protruding object. Another way is to give more ropes to let the climber fall under those objects. However, this method is only applicable to objects that can be crossed by multiple release ropes, such as stalactites or the large hole above 5.9+, like Yangshuo Jiupinshan. It is better to tighten the object or platform that cannot be crossed.
