ReplyDeleteYou love rock climbing like I do! I adore the sport and prior to the actual climb, you have to hone your skills and be familiar with the right technique in order to stay safe up there. The figure 8 knot is the strongest by far and as one of the basic knots, learning it is crucial! I remembered my rock climbing instructor telling us that applying the skills we learned in class is very important when we are already practicing the sport. He was right.
