How does rock climbing work? Like, for new cliffs to scale?

332 views

Like how do they get the pegs in the rock hundreds of feet up the cliff if they’re at the bottom? I don’t get it.

Like if someone starts out at the base of a mountain with all the shit you need, ropes, pulleys, hooks and metal rods to stick into the rock, how do they manage to get their rods in the rock to climb in the first place? It makes sense if someones been there before and have put the rods in the rock before them, but how do the “FIRST ONES” do it?

You lead climb with a belt that has everything you need (a hammer drill, bolts, etc.) See [this video](https://youtu.be/zd6YKVYkQC8).
