Sport Climbing Safety
Common Sport Climbing Accidents
With closely spaced bolts, bolted anchors, and no dangerous runouts, what can go wrong? But accidents do happen on sport climbs, on a shockingly regular basis. One of the most common accidents is a lowering accident, caused simply by the rope not being long enough to lower the climber to the ground, and no knot on the end of the rope to close the system. Another common mishap is a leader fall with the rope between the legs while climbing to the right or left of a protection bolt, which flips the falling leader upside-down rather violently, resulting in head injuries. Incorrectly clipping the quickdraw can lead to the rope unclipping itself during a leader fall. Letâs review the fundamentals of sport climbing and how to prevent these scenarios.
