How did the mountaineers belay?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Belaying refers to a variety of techniques used by mountaineers to exert tension on a climbing rope so that a climber does not fall very far. A climbing partner typically applies tension at the other end of the rope whenever the climber is not climbing and removes the tension from the rope when the climber needs a rope to continue to climb.

Para 18
My first feelings were of relief–
relief that there were no more steps to
cut, no more ridges to traverse, and no
more humps to tantalize us with hopes

a.m. The ridge had taken us two and a
half hours, but it seemed like a lifetime
