Congratulations to Rachel and Conner! They won this weeks challenge. Here are their answers:1. What is the difference between “Aid Climbing” and “Free Climbing”?
Answer: Aid Climbing involves the climber placing a piece of protection gear and clipping their harness directly into the gear to take body weight off of their hands and arms, and repeating the process to advance to up the rock. Free Climbing involves the climber using their hands, feet, and other body parts to advance up the rock while using protection gear to only protect a fall.
2. Now, what is difference between “Free Climbing” and “Free Solo Climbing”?
Answer: Free Solo Climbing is when the climber does not use any protection gear, including a rope, and climbs by his or her self. Free solo climbing requires the climber to have strong confidence in their ability as well as be mentally tough due to the fact that a fall can be lethal.
3. And lastly, what makes a “Highball” Boulder Problem different from a “free Solo”?
Answer: Highball Bouldering is bouldering on tall boulders with crash pads, which is protection, and a fall may lead to injury but not death.
