Brief introduction of rock climbing equipment
Seat belt
For climbers, safety belts are second only to ropes in equipment, which can ensure people's comfort and safety at the same time. Different styles of safety belts have different measurement methods, and these two methods provide a personalized fit scheme. On the one hand, the lightest design in theory ensures the maximum freedom of movement, on the other hand, climbers can get the maximum comfort when hanging.
According to the types of seat belts, EU standard 12277 has the following four different standards: integrated seat belts (Class A), integrated seat belts for children (Class B), waist seat belts (Class C) and chest seat belts (Class D). Each type of seat belt has its own function and function, and the most commonly used one in daily life is C-type, that is, waist seat belt.
Seat belts are the most widely used seat belts. Waist safety belts can be used in almost all mountain sports, especially those who climb in difficult environments, such as rocks, ice and mountains. 80% of the fall load is transferred to the thigh through the leg ring, and the belt protects the spine. Because the waist safety belt is surrounded by the center of gravity of the body, the rope is safer than other safety belts in long-distance pulling. In addition, the waist belt also has greater freedom of movement and a more comfortable hanging position. So here we are going to introduce four kinds of waist safety.

helmet
In outdoor sports, especially rock climbing, on the one hand, the danger of falling rocks always exists and is unpredictable. On the other hand, pioneer climbing is in danger of hitting the ground before the first quick hang. Therefore, it is very necessary to use professional helmets for mountaineering.
At present, there are three kinds of helmets on the market, hard shell, foam plastic and hybrid. The hard shell is made of high-strength engineering plastics or fiber-reinforced polymers. The advantage of this helmet is that it is durable and can withstand beating (don't worry too much when packaging), but the disadvantage is that it is heavier. Bubble is not? Soft? This helmet has the advantage of light weight, but it is not as strong as the former. The hybrid type adopts a thin hard shell lining made of foamed plastic, and its design principle and use experience are still close to that of foamed plastic helmet.
Therefore, the selection of helmets needs to pass the European Union (CE) standards on mountaineering helmets and the corresponding standards of UIAA. It mainly includes frontal impact test, side impact test, sharp instrument penetration test and stability test. Therefore, we carefully screened three helmets.

padlock
Each iron lock has a specific scope of use. You can choose the iron lock according to your own use, climbing style, personal habits and other factors. For the main lock with lock locking design, threaded lock is the most common choice. When using this kind of lock, you should pay special attention to check whether the lock is tightened every time to prevent accidents.
Automatic lock door opening and closing is fast and convenient, but it is also at a disadvantage in price and weight. The most fatal weakness is that when the lock is rubbed or squeezed, the door may open automatically, causing injury. This lock is suitable for places such as rock climbing ground or top rope protection.
And we have a little tip here: iron locks should be kept clean during use. The iron lock of the threaded door is easy to enter dust, which affects the normal opening of the door. It is necessary to clean the dirt on the threaded door in time. If the door is locked and difficult to open, you can drop a drop of engine oil and open it repeatedly to wipe off the attached oil. Avoid dropping or throwing when using iron locks at ordinary times. If cracks appear on the surface of the iron lock, stop using it immediately.
