Updates and corrections

As wtih all activities and information, sometimes things in climbing need updating or correcting. In the case of the The Australian Climbing Handbook, we will update this page to alert readers of any changes.

P84 – Belay Loop update

Pages 84 and 84 from the Australian Climbing Handbook

On page 84, the anatomy of a climbing harness had the belay loop incorrectly identified at the top of the harness. Click to see the updated pages with the correct location.

P211 Quad Anchors – image captions corrected

Pages 210 and 211 from the Australian Climbing Handbook, updated.

On page 211, the captions on two images are in the wrong order, identifying the first anchor configuration as “Quad master point set up for top roping”, whereas it should say “Quad master point set up for top belay
with an assisted braking device”; and the second image should have the former caption. Click to see the updated pages with the correct caption order.

Images of climbing quad anchors tied in cordelette with carabiners and ropes attached.

The original images with captions in the wrong order.

Should any other information in The Australian Climbing Handbook required correction or updating, it will appear on this page.
