Rock climbing is a very popular sport in Slovenia, so many of you are surely planning to include it in your itinerary while being here. And guess what, you don’t need to carry your own climbing equipment. We offer you climbing equipment rental; you either need only a piece of equipment or complete climbing gear.
Are you missing a piece of climbing equipment to complete your climbing adventure? With Altitude Activities, you can rent climbing gear of all sizes and shapes. Moreover, we only provide high-quality, properly maintained climbing equipment. Therefore, there is no need to pack everything for your travel adventure since you can easily rent complete climbing equipment at our office in Bled.
Whether for rock or ice climbing, a quickdraw is an essential piece of equipment to perform the activity correctly. Extenders, also called quickdraws, connect the rope with the protection while you lead the climb.
Quickdraw is made from two carabiners connected with a semi-rigid material. Each of the two carabiners has its own purpose:
– A straight-gate carabiner is used to clip the bolt.
– A bent-gate carabiner is designed to clip the rope.
– First, clip a quickdraw into a bolt hanger. You can do this by pressing the gate against the bolt. Before you clip the bolt, make sure you find a stable stance and secure hold for your other hand.
– Second, clip a rope into a quickdraw. There are a few techniques for clipping the rope into a quickdraw. Regardless of the technique you’re using, ensure the rope passes through the carabiner in the direction from the cliff toward the outside.
– Check for signs of wear to ensure safety.
– Ensure smooth opening and closing of the gates for quick and secure clipping.
– Rent enough quickdraws for the route, usually 10 – 15 for sport climbing.
– Choose the right length to reduce rope drag; longer quickdraws are better for overhangs and wandering routes.
