Clip your rope into bolted protection as you ascend single-pitch or multi-pitch routes, with a partner belaying from below — sport climbing develops upper-body strength, precise footwork, and problem-solving at heights beyond what bouldering offers.

The Essentials

How to get started

  1. Tie in with a retraced figure-eight knot and have your partner check it, along with your harness buckles, before you leave the ground.
  2. Agree on clear commands with your belayer — "climbing," "climb on," "take," and "falling" — so you're both on the same page.
  3. Keep your weight over your feet and push through your legs rather than pulling with your arms; look for footholds before reaching for the next handhold.
  4. Rest on straight arms and shake out one hand at a time to save strength; chalk up before your grip gets tired, not after.
  5. Clip protection at your waist or below to limit a fall, and avoid climbing above a bolt with slack rope hanging.
  6. When you reach the anchor or want to come down, call "take," lean back into your harness, and let your belayer lower you slowly and smoothly.
