Brand new rope, fluorescent green against the winter landscape. Strictly Spring on March 31st, it is hard to tell on even this low mountain slope in the pines with no wildflowers or deciduous leaves out. His daughter took a lap on a 5.4. She was tired from sickness a few days back and not energetic like I had seen her previously. My climbing friend brought a friend and his son who had only been outside the day before here at Bays Mountain. They both did well. She was content to watch, snack, nap, and look at curiosities on the ground. It was an easy climb, but it is so good to be back on rock. Unsnag the rope so that it is not bound up and you won't fall as far. Top Roping is the safest form of climbing, since you don't ever fall more than a foot or two. You set up top rope from the top with extra runners so that the rings don't get excess wear. On the last climb you clean it and put the rope through the rings. You are always hooked in at two points and never allow the rope
