Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Down climbing... On easy and low-angled rock, the climber faces outward as he descends. He may crouch slightly, feet flat on slabby areas... As a general rule, hands should be kept low and ready to support the climber using either downpressure or cling holds.  3, record 2, English, - down%20climbing

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT

A rope is often used for protection in difficult sections or the climber may choose to rappel these. Downclimbing is often very dangerous since the climber is often unroped. A common method of downclimbing rock is by scuttling down like a crab with both legs and arms on the rock and facing outward.  2, record 2, English, - down%20climbing

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

There are different types of gloves and they can all be worn in combination. Light wool gloves: usually worn underneath another pair of gloves in very cold conditions. Overmitts of nylon: worn on top of the gloves, they are wind and snow proof. Fingerless wool mitts: good for cold weather and finger freedom. Fairly good for rope holding and adequate to climb in. Oiled wool mittens: the general cold-weather glove of the mountaineer. Leather gloves: for rope holding and abseiling. Braking gloves: especially designed leather gloves worn by a climber operating a belay (sometimes called belay gloves). In the event of another climber falling, braking gloves prevent the hands from being rope-burned.  3, record 4, English, - climbing%20glove

The heavy black line on the artificial horizon represents the horizon line. If the airplane is above the horizon, it is climbing. If it is below the horizon, it is diving. The greater amount of climb or dive, the farther up or down the horizon line is seen. The artificial horizon dial also has a black arrowhead showing the degree of bank to left or right. If the airplane is banked to the right, the arrowhead points to the left of zero.  1, record 5, English, - degree%20of%20bank

L'horizon artificiel [...] sert à indiquer la position d'un avion par rapport à l'horizon terrestre symbolisé par une ligne séparant deux zones de couleurs différentes, l'une indiquant le ciel, l'autre la terre. L'attitude de l'avion est déduite de la position de cette ligne qui fournit des précisions sur le roulis et le tangage. Des marques sur les côtés précisent le degré d'inclinaison de l'avion et une bille située dans la partie inférieure informe le pilote du niveau de vol en dérapage.  3, record 5, French, - degr%C3%A9%20d%27inclinaison%20de%20l%27avion

First developed in France's Verdun Gorge in the mid 1970's sport climbing involves climbing a route that has been previously groomed, inspected and prepared(removal of moss, ferns and other debris from holes and cracks). The preparation involves rapelling down the cliff face and installing bolts or pitons in such a way that they will remain permanently, forever scarring the rock face. Given the minimal risk involved, the gymnastics of sport climbing takes precedence over the danger. Increasingly, the sport is performed on artificial climbing walls with removable bolts and pitons that, when arranged in a certain manner, allow for the instant creation of new, more difficult routes. The existence at these walls also lessen environmental damage to natural rock faces.  1, record 6, English, - sport%20climbing

Le but dans l'escalade sportive c'est d'améliorer son niveau de compétence technique soit comme préparation pour faire de l'alpinisme soit pour accéder à des escalades sportives plus difficiles.
