AID Climbing

AID Climbing is a technique used in rock climbing where the climber relies on artificial devices to make upward progress. This category includes information on gear such as aiders, ascenders, and cam hooks, as well as specific techniques like pendulum swings and hook placements. AID Climbing is commonly utilized on challenging big wall climbs or routes with sections that are too difficult to free climb. Climbers typically use aid climbing to supplement their existing climbing skills and experience. This category provides tips, tutorials, and gear reviews to help climbers improve their AID Climbing abilities and conquer advanced routes.
