Questions about climbing equipment from way back when?

Today we have kernmantle ropes, dynamic and static ropes, nicely tailored Cypress harnesses, barrel-locking carabiners, and lots of other nifty climbing gear. What was available in, say, 1985?

What were the ropes like? Harnesses? Carabiners? Were shear-reduction blocks or belay devices used then? What about S.A.F.E. and 4H? Belay commands and responses?

Hiking Equipment – Walking, Trekking or Hiking Poles & How To Use Them

www.hikingequipmentsite.com – Learn more on Walking, Trekking or Hiking Poles and how to use them on my blog post. Hiking Poles, also known as walking poles, trekking poles, hiking sticks, walking canes, hiking canes are an increasingly popular item of hiking equipment. Poles are perhaps your best friend when walking on relatively difficult, snowy or muddy terrain. On uncertain terrain, or steep slopes, they are useful for stability, and many people say they help to minimise knee pain. They can also be used as aids when climbing rocks or boulders, to check the depth of mud and water and help facilitate a safe crossing. www.hikingequipmentsite.com – Click here to see what else you may need from our detailed hiking equipment checklist. www.HikingEquipmentSite.com – Visit my blog for hiking gear guides, hiking trip guides and more…
