After this week of learning the belay system, and practicing falling and climbing, what are your concerns? Please consider safety issues, communication with your group, your fears.
Right now, my only concern is properly learning how to belay. After I did it today, my wrists started to hurt a little, but communication and falling seems to not be a problem with my group.
My concerns are the falling aspects. Today, i know my group was looking out for the moment i "Accidently" fall. But im nervous that if i actually do, it wont go the exact same becuase even i wont be expecting it. Im not saying by any means that i dont trust my group, im just saying that i dont trust myself being able to make the climb without falling =]. sarah scharlau
My concerns are the falling and the belaying aspects. Today I tried to belay today it was fun. I trust my group cuze they believe in me and tell me you can do it Nicole thats makes me feel happy. My Fears are being nervous but now i am little and but i get through it.
My concerns are the belaying. I think everyone needs more practice at it. When I belayed, I felt like I would get pulled up a lot even with the anchor. Other than that, I think my group is doing good.
As of now, I am mostly concerned about belaying properly. I want to make sure I am doing the proper hand motions. When I belayed, it was kind of scary, because your whole group is counting on you, but it went successfully and I didn't let Sarah fall! When I climbed the first time, I had a hard time getting up the wall, it a bit difficult. I'm hoping over time, I'll get better and make it up to the top :)
my main concern is belaying. i hate the fact that I have somebody's life in my hands. I hope that with practice it comes easier because at first it seems kind of awkward. I don't have a huge issue with climbing, but its a little scary knowing that there is always the possiblity of me hitting the floor.
Since I'm not a hue fan of heights, I still am nervous when i get up and going on the wall. I know that I'm tired in okay because i know how to do the knot the right way, but the thing is, in my group, we are all super tiny, so at times i have the fear that my group dosn't have the strenght to hold me when I fall, or that I won't have the strenght to hold them when they fall. It's not that I don't trust them, I'm pretty sure we all trust each other. It's just the fact that we are all so tiny.
I think my main concern is me not being able to belay right. I am still nervous about and I don't know if I can do it right. Climbing is kind of nerve racking for me, but I take a deep breath and go for it even though when I'm done with it I am shaking like crazy. But I know my group has my back when I'm climbing.
I'm surprisingly pretty comfortable overall with climbing on the rock wall. My only concern is doing the belaying completely correctly. I did it for the first time on friday and it was pretty challenging. I'm excited for this unit though.
I'm pretty content with the climbing and falling part. What concerns me is the belaying. With practice it will get easier so I'm not totally worried. However, belaying really hurt my wrists so that kinda makes me not want to do it. Also my hand got pinched in the atc when my person fell so that didn't feel too awesome. Overall though I really like climbing a lot!
My concern is the accidental fall. I think a lot of times our full focus and attention isn't on the system at hand..and the climber.. and the accidental fall is a big step to overcome. I think the belaying is a hard to be really good at ..and my group is slowly working at it and practicing it every day. :)
I think everything ..with the new learning..and just this new unit of climbing is going well.
My only concern is the belaying. When it was my turn to do it I was kind of scared because I didn't want our climber to fall. I think it went well and we all help each other out. As for climbing it was scary the first time, but over time I hope it gets better. [P.S. I'm really proud of my team and Ally did an awesome job friday! =] -Magaly H.
I am most concerned with belaying. I think I can trust my group, but I don't know if I can trust them completely and myself for keeping them safe. I'm sure that everything will be fine though. And I think once we practice it all, no one will be worried about getting hurt.
for my group i feel that if i were to unexpectally fall like me sliping or somehting it may be a trouble for my group to catch me. i feel we all know what we are expected just dont fully have the strenghtne for everyone in the group
we're all learning slowly....but belaying is a scary aspect of it. not only do my hands/wrists hurt from rope burn and stuff, but i definitely don't have the strength too keep a person up by myself. other than that, the trust aspect is definitely there because everyone in my group 'accidentally' fell and the rush of being so high and falling is pretty awesomeeee.
My only concern is the secondary belayer because if the main one messes up, then the second one would also because the rope would start burning their hands. If they know how the ATC works, they would pull back so it would lock up. Communication is strong within groups, but some still have to conquer their fears
I am a little uneasy about belaying. I think i just need more practice. I feel that my group has a lot of trust with eachother, though, and together we can help eachother conquer our fears and help eachother out. Brenda ^.^~
My concern would be belaying. Although i havent actually belayed yet, it seems to be hard and i dont consider myself very strong. I think more time to practice that would help.
I am most concerned about the belaying. I found climbing to be much easier than belaying. It was easy for me to trust my group because they took the activity seriously, but it was hard for me to trust myself. I was worried that I wouldn't catch the person when they fell. I think that once I get the hang of it I will feel more comfortable. The hands movements feel awkward and forced now, but after more experience I think it will be better. -Justine Venegoni
My concern is belaying. I climbed once but I didn't reach high because the stones were small and it was really hard to grab them. I'm still scared of climbing. I want to have more communications with my team so everyone can climb safely. yurika shimizu
I definitely trust my group. For me, the problem is trusting myself enough to climb high since I'm scared of heights. I'm really glad that my group is really encouraging even though I move slowly when I climb. I've belayed a couple of times now, and I think it's getting easier. The only proble is that people move so much faster than I can belay! -Eunice
I trust my group, I'm just afraid they might be caught off guard when I fall. We have good communication and we are good at doing everything as a team. I think my group really knows what they're doing for the most part, and I'm excited to climb even higher!
I trust my group a ton. I think belaying can always improve for everyone, like keeping up with the climber can definitely improve. Besides that, I think our group is pretty solid on everything. My only fear right now is the jumping from the beam activity. Not that my group wont catch me, its just terrifying in general to be that high up. I'm gonna freak out! Samantha Noga
My concern was falling i know for a fact my team will catch me because i trust them but i don't trust myself with falling, i'm still getting use to climbing up

We should practice more on braying and should communicate within our groups to build a strong relationship and trust.
