SKILLS: How to Rope Solo - with Pete Whittaker

Lead rope soloing is a technique for climbing a route without a partner. Instead of relying on a belayer, the climber uses a device that self-feeds as they move up the rock, but would lock and catch the climber in the case of a fall. It’s not for beginners — it requires knowledge of anchors, rope management, and safety backups. But for those expert climbers who know what they’re doing, it offers independence and the freedom to climb when no partner is available. Have you tried lead rope soloing?
