I always thought that the essence of artificial climbing creativity to solve many problems that we face impossible at first. The artificial climbing is not be loaded with tons of material, four boards, over the knee riding boots pads, gloves, fifis, etc. . but to solve in an efficient and simple problems that we encounter during climbing. Below I will explain how to build climbing stirrups easily, and with material that can be found in almost any climbing rucksack. Thanks to these stirrups can solve simple artificial climbing routes, or sections "surprise" that is present along a path of escalation. It can also be an option for those who want to try aid climbing without having to pay big bucks for new stirrups. 1. Extend and stretch the ring 3 meters leaving the knot on the bottom so it does not hinder us when making the stirrup. 3. Now let's start building the steps one by one to make a total of five. The step should be wide enough to fit a boot without problems, and be at a height over the following about the height you have the floor to our knees. Having calculated the width, we take the tape as shown in the image:. 4. And we make a flat ribbon knot. It is important that all nodes of the stirrup are properly made and well, "hairstyles", or whatever it is, that the tape not be twisted knot or anything. When carrying the weight of the knots will tighten and Azócar so that if the knot is wrong will cost much more to undo. The tape can be used as fifi Express, hooking our harness connecting loop by one of the muskets, and the other hook to the stirrup. This bracket is very light. If air does not stop moving, turning the crazy to use it. Put weight on the step below. Snap hooks, pins, leads, or plutonium . . according to wind strength. Alpine climbing is discouraged this type of stirrup, it is easy to damage the tape with the crampons and unusable material. Best option is to take some steps made of metal or plastic that better withstand the abuse of crampons. If we are sure that ours is the artificial, get good temper, whether purchased or manufactured, as with better materials. In this sense there are different types of stirrups. The hooks are key to the development of clean aid climbing. Today we can find an infinite number of types of hooks, all useful, but must learn to use previously before getting into a mess of mud. To train our hooks (or nails), worth any journey on rock at ground level, any brick wall, etc. . Avoid use in blocks or climbing routes which may damage the rock. .
