Assess fundamental handholds when climbing a steep face wall. 5. Analyze crack climbing skills. 6. Analyze different climbing style types. Activity Objectives: 1. Differentiate basic rock climbing rating system techniques. 2. Interpret finger crack climbing and fist jamming techniques. 3. Construct proper anchoring techniques. 4. Compare and contrast various types of rock climbing techniques. 5. Apply proper footwork techniques. 6. Examine methods of rigging and rappelling. Methods of Evaluation Essay Examinations Objective Examinations Skill Demonstrations Reading Assignments 1. Read the chapter on the basic safety for climbers and be prepared to discuss specific safety elements and their significance when rock climbing. 2. Read a chapter on the history of rock climbing and be prepared to discuss the evolution of this sport. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Keep a journal making at least two entries per week, documenting thoughts and application of safety principles and rock climbing techniques. This documentation work will allow students a reference for continued safety and climbing performance. 2. Read and respond to questions posted on the discussion board. Example: Compare and contrast indoor rock climbing verses outdoor rock climbing with regard to safety, equipment, and cost. This will give students a realistic reference about rock climbing safety indoors versus outdoor rock climbing. And give students a range of cost between indoor verses outdoor rock climbing.
