One of the most favorite questions among those who would like to try rock climbing is what happens if the climber falls. The answer is simple; when you fall the rope catches you. This is the reason why climbers tie themselves in the rope. Falling from rock climbing is a very common occurrence and most of the time considered as a non-event.
Typically, climbers’ free fall 10 feet that’s when the rope starts to stretch. This slows down the climber steadily. In addition, most often, climbers injure their ankles that are swinging in the wall when they fall. There are also times when they hurt their fingers because of overuse.
