Free climbing (three-point fixed climbing method): This involves using the protrusions and indentations on the cliff face, climbing by keeping three points fixed while moving one. While climbing, keep your body pressed against the cliff, using a posture where either two hands and one foot are fixed while the other foot moves, or two feet and one hand are fixed while the other hand moves. Utilize the strength of your hands to grip, pull, push, and your feet to push off, propelling your body upward.
Rope climbing: Grip the rope with both hands, allowing your body to hang slightly while lifting your legs. Use the inner and outer sides of both legs to grip the rope, and alternately push with your legs while pulling yourself up with alternating hand movements. Alternatively, grip the rope directly with both hands extended straight down, let your legs dangle, and alternately pull yourself upward with your hands until you reach the top.
Rope ascent: This involves securing the upper end of the rope and using your feet to push against the cliff face while pulling the rope to ascend. The method includes leaning your upper body slightly forward, placing the rope between your legs, and alternately gripping and pulling the rope with your hands to move upward. At the same time, push off the cliff face with one foot while lifting the other in preparation to push, using the combined force of hand pulls and foot pushes to move upward.
Rope traverse: This method involves fixing both ends of the rope and hanging horizontally across it to cross obstacles such as ravines or streams. While traversing, grip the rope with one hand in front and one behind, tuck your abdomen slightly in, hook one leg’s knee over the rope so your body hangs beneath it, slightly lift your hips, and bend your arms at 90 degrees. To move forward, shift the rear hand forward, swing the opposite leg upward and inward, and hook its knee over the rope. Once one knee is hooked, lift the other leg off the rope. Coordinate your arms and legs alternately to move forward step by step.
Crossing a ditch with a pole: Insert one end of the pole into the bottom of the ditch and lean it diagonally against the edge of the stone wall at about a 70-degree angle. When crossing, run a few steps quickly to a point just behind the projection line of the grip, then grip the pole firmly with both hands, one above the other (stronger hand on top). Simultaneously, push off the ground forcefully with one foot to leap forward and upward, suspending your body to one side of the pole. Use the forward momentum to push the pole ahead, and once the body swings past the vertical plane, swing your legs forward, push back with the lower hand, lean forward, and bend your knees to cushion the landing.
Standing jump down: Stand at the edge of a cliff, bend your legs slightly and keep them apart, shift your body forward, push slightly off the edge with your feet, and jump downward. Land on the balls of your feet first, then bend your knees to cushion the impact.
Hanging jump down: Face away from the direction of the jump, squat down with your body, grip the edge of the cliff with both hands, lower your body, extend your legs one after the other to hang freely, and shift slightly to the left (or right). Move the left (or right) hand down to brace against the wall, then push off the wall with both hands and feet while turning to jump down. Land on the balls of your feet first, then bend your knees to cushion the landing.
