Added 2023-01-19 00:52:17 +0000 UTCWhen leading a route, stick-clipping the first bolt is a great way to stay safe and prevent a ground fall. It is important for you and your belayer to be extra alert while climbing past the first bolt, as you are still very close to the ground. If a fall occurs in the beginning part of the climb and the first bolt is not yet clipped, the belayer should be ready to spot the person in the event of a fall. Ground falls are extremely dangerous and should be prevented at all costs! 🧗🏼
