CONT

Turnbuckles are used for adjusting tension in ropes, cables, tie rods and other tensioning systems, as well as for pulling together and pushing apart anchor points. Heavy duty rigging turnbuckles consist of two threaded bolts, each screwed into the ends of a metal frame. One side is left-hand threaded and the other is right-hand threaded, so riggers can turn the metal frame to push apart and pull together the threaded bolts. These threaded bolts come with a wide variety of end fittings and attachments including jaws, eyes, clevises, hooks and many more. All cable turnbuckles and turnbuckle hardware feature UNC [unified coarse] threads...

Subject field(s)

  • Search and Rescue (Paramilitary)
OBS

To make this anchor, make three wraps with the webbing around a large solid object(in this case a tree) and then tie the free ends in a water knot with at least 2 inches of tail on each side of the knot. Now, pull the two strands of the webbing that do not have the knot in them, leaving the actual knot against the tree. The knot, normally the weakest part, is isolated by the friction against the tree and has minimal load on it.

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
DEF

[Knots that] let you tie into the rope, anchor yourself to the mountain, tie two ropes together for long rappels, use slings to climb the rope itself.

CONT

Knots that will least affect the fiber and yet lock without slipping and be easy to untie when wet and icy conditions are required. Such knots we call «climbing knots».

OBS

Knots connect climbers to the rope and the anchors ... we use knots as a general term referring to all knots, hitches and bends.

Record 7 2017-10-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
CONT

You must secure your climbing rope to your harness (tie-in) in the strongest way possible. In the past climbers used the Bowline Knot ... for this connection, but the Figure-Eight knot is stronger and is now the most popular.

CONT

The butterfly knot mentioned earlier, while ideal for a climber tying into the middle of a rope, is too cumbersome to tie and untie for use as a tie-in to the anchor.

CONT

The tie-in is a system used in rock climbing to secure the rope to an object. It consists of climbing rope, a secure, strong knot, and an object with which to attach. The tie-in secures the climbing rope to either the climber, swami, harness, rope used as a harness, or to an anchor.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de montagne
CONT

L'encordement se fait au moyen de divers nœuds dont les plus courants sont le nœud en huit et le nœud de bouline, ou nœud de chaise, le premier étant assez difficile à défaire en cas de choc. [...] Avec le baudrier, l'arrêt de la manœuvre est simple : après le dernier anneau de buste, on fait un nœud sur la corde que l'on passe dans un mousqueton fixé à l'encordement initial.

CONT

L'encordement a pour but d'augmenter la sécurité de chacun des membres de la cordée.

OBS

L'encordement est un système utilisé pour attacher la corde au grimpeur que ce soit directement sur lui ou directement sur le baudrier. Pourtant, en français, ce terme ne comprend pas l'idée d'attache à un point d'ancrage comme le fait l'anglais.

Record 10 2010-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
OBS

Two-point equalizing, using two anchors, is the simplest method of self-equalization... Put a half-twist in a high-strength runner... which divides the runner into two parts, and clip each end into an anchor with a carabiner. Then clip a locking carabiner over the X formed in the middle, from one half of the runner to the other, and tie into that carabiner.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de montagne
CONT

Un relais multidirectionnel [...] permet de répartir également l'effort sur chaque ancrage, quelle que soit la position et le déplacement du grimpeur au relais. En cas de rupture d'un point d'encrage, la boucle libérée se resserre sur le mousqueton d'assurage tout en conservant au relais son intérêt initial.

OBS

Il y a dans ce cas une équivalence partielle car aucun des ouvrages consultés ne traite spécifiquement du terme «two-point equializing» en français.

Record 11 2010-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
DEF

Places where some kind of running belay can be attached to the rock or mountain-runners, chocks, pitons, bolts, or whatever.

CONT

At a belay... a climber places two or more protection pieces to form an anchor and then uses slings to tie into the anchor against any potential pull....

OBS

Because a protection point is a type of anchor point, the terms are often used interchangeably. However, not all anchor points (broader concept) are protection points. They may be rappel points or belay points.

CONT

Au fur et à mesure qu'il grimpe, le premier relie la corde aux points d'assurage placés dans le rocher [...]

CONT

La chute d'un des alpinistes risquant d'entraîner celle de l'autre, les membres de la cordée vont progresser [...] en s'amarrant à des relais [...] où l'on place plusieurs points d'assurance [...] Ces points sont également disposés à intervalles [...] sur la longueur de la corde.

OBS

Ils [points d'assurage] peuvent être de différentes sortes [:] les «becquets» et les «blocs rocheux» [...] dans les fissures et dans les cheminées des blocs coincés [...]

OBS

Les points d'assurage ou d'assurance sont aussi des points d'ancrage, mais les points d'ancrage (notion plus large) ne sont pas nécessairement des points d'assurage. Ils peuvent être des points de relais, des points de rappel ou même des points de progression.

Subject field(s)

DEF

... the stationary climber [who] manages the rope that is tied to the climbing member of the team and uses it to stop a fall if one should occur.

CONT

Your job as a belayer is to pay out or take in rope as the climber moves, so as to catch the climber with as little slack as possible in case of a fall.

OBS

The anchor is used to tie the belayer-and through him, the climber-to the cliff or mountain. The anchor must be absolutely solid.

CONT

... a self-equalizing anchor... is rigged on two tubular ice screws. Bowline on bight is tied into climbing rope close to belayer, and one of the two loops is enlarged by reducing the other. Small loop is clipped to big one between anchors. This is best way to tie two or more anchors together, as it distributes the load equally between them, regardless of direction of final pull.
