Bouldering is rock climbing close to ground level, where an unchecked fall is not necessarily serious. The boulderer uses no rope or specialized gear except climbing shoes and gymnastic chalk(used to keep the hands dry) and needs no companions.  2, record 1, English, - boulderer

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT

A boulder climb is usually quite difficult, and is often described as having an entire climb compressed into 2 or 3 meters. Hence a boulderer usually climbs no higher than he can jump safely, depending of course on the landing (usually only a few meters).  3, record 1, English, - boulderer

Le Bloc. Ce type d'escalade est devenue une activité à part entière [...] Nous assistons actuellement à une explosion du nombre de ses pratiquants; le bloc permettant une pratique solitaire aussi bien qu'une pratique en groupe [...]. Ce rocher de 4 à 6 m (en moyenne), où l'usage de la corde n'est par fréquent, offrent des difficultés impressionnantes tant elles sont concentrées. [...] Nous constatons que les meilleurs grimpeurs de blocs ne sont pas forcément excellents en falaises.  1, record 1, French, - grimpeur%20de%20blocs

Le bloc constitue la meilleure initiation à l'aspect gestuel de l'escalade car il ne nécessite pas l'apprentissage des techniques d'assurance et la sensation de vide y est limitée.  3, record 1, French, - grimpeur%20de%20blocs

A payee or holder of a bill of exchange or cheque must in his/her own interest notify the drawer without delay, so that the drawee bank or entity will refuse to pay should the instrument fall into the hands of a thief. Should the drawer be absent, then notification to the drawee or the drawee bank should be made. No duplicate payment should be made without some form of indemnification as there is a possibility that the instrument may come into the hands of a third party who may be able to claim to be a holder in due course.

[A belay] to prevent rope breakage and excessive impact... in which the belayer allows some of the rope to slide through his hands, braking the speed of the fall [of a climber] more gradually.  1, record 5, English, - dynamic%20belay

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Dynamic belays, to be given properly, must be carefully practiced in advance, because the braking hand must use varying pressure depending on the friction that has already built up as the rope passes through a series of carabineers.  1, record 5, English, - dynamic%20belay

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS

All the belays commonly used in North American climbing are dynamic, because of the energy-absorbing properties of the rope, because of the give in the belayer’s body and the anchor, and because some rope will slide through the hands even when the rope is held tight.  2, record 5, English, - dynamic%20belay
