Better than mountains can only be mountains. The reasons for pulling generally serious adults high to the shining peaks can be very different. And although no one will release an inexperienced beginner without preparation on the slope, you should know the most basic safety rules when climbing in the mountains.
Necessary
- - helmet;
- - climbing equipment;
- - Sunglasses;
- - trekking shoes and "crampons";
- - Alpenstock and trekking poles;
- - Sunglasses.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a close look at the terrain before attempting to climb the slope. When planning a crossing, you should outline an approximate route of movement, indicate difficult areas, places of possible rockfalls and talus and places to bypass them.
Step 2
Check the availability and functionality of safety equipment, the condition of shoes, alpenstocks and trekking poles.
Step 3
Never climb a slope in low clouds, dense fog, snow, dark or strong winds. It is not recommended to start climbing immediately after rain, as at this time the surface of the slope is saturated with moisture and is unstable.
Step 4
Stones, as well as rotten and fallen trees that come across on the way, step over. You cannot step on them.
Step 5
When moving on unstable stones, on slippery and wet slopes, on steep descents, use the belay. The bunch should consist of three to four people. This ensures the safety of the individual participant and does not hinder movement.
Step 6
Pass the rocky areas in helmets; use alpenstocks for insurance.
Step 7
On rocky slopes, it is safer to move along the edge of the rock. Avoid stream beds, gullies, buttresses, and any area where scree or rock falls may occur.
Step 8
Pass the slopes with small talus like a snake, trying not to cause shattering of the rock. On slopes with large and medium talus, do not use alpenstocks for belay. You can move a large rock that will cause a collapse or rockfall.
Step 9
All talus slopes are especially dangerous after rain or snowfall. Pass large and medium talus very carefully, trying with your foot even the most seemingly reliable stones.
Step 10
Wooded and herbaceous elephants are especially dangerous because their relief is difficult to see; unnoticed pits, gullies, stones and fallen trees can be on the way. Short grass is dangerous after rain, as it becomes very slippery.
Step 11
Always use alpenstocks and trekking poles on grassy slopes. Move at a distance from each other so that the fallen person does not knock down his comrades. In especially difficult places, it is worth arranging rope rails.
Step 12
The most dangerous for the passage are rock-slab slopes. Driving on an inclined slab is especially dangerous after rain. In dry weather, these sections take turns with reinforced insurance.
Step 13
When climbing snow and ice areas, be sure to wear boots with crampons and use alpenstocks. It is better to overcome such slopes in the morning, when the crust is strongest.
Step 14
Driving on snowy slopes is always carried out in bundle. The person walking in front should change at regular intervals, since tracking along the crust takes a lot of energy. It is better to overcome snow and ice slopes head-on.
Step 15
When climbing to a great height, always triple acclimatization stands so that your body has time to adapt to changes in atmospheric pressure.
Step 16
A must-have accessory in the mountains - sunglasses with a high degree of protection. You can get a severe burn of the retina on a snow-covered slope in two to three minutes in bright sun.
