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?

If you’re thinking of sport climbing, someone rappelled down from the top of the cliff after scoping out a potential climbable line. They drilled and placed permanent anchors into the rock. After that, climbers can simply clip in quickdraws (two carabiners connected to a piece of nylon called a dogbone) as a sort of checkpoint system to place their rope into and protect them when they fall.
