Final Check Before Climbing

Once both climber and belayer are tied in and set up, stop and both partners should check the setup. Make sure of the following:

1) All harness buckles are doubled back.

2) All knots are properly tied and dressed.

3) All carabiners are properly aligned, and screwed shut.

4) The belayer is clipped into the floor anchor on the side opposite the brake hand.
