The rope converts two or three men into a team; they tie together whenever by so doing they increase their mutual safety and ability on difficult slopes. Although the rope is rarely used to pull on, it is, strangely enough, something to lean on. A leader who knows that his team, through proper rope handling, can stop his fall, will have moral support that materially raises his ability to lead. Before rope management can be adequate all members of the team must know the theory and have practiced so thoroughly that the rope is at no time a nuisance. The rope cannot boss
the team; rather, the team should be able to dominate the rope, and more, to do so subconsciously. Three men who, roped together, can ascend a mere 500-foot slope of talus mixed with brush, moving at varying speeds, varying distances apart, jumping now and then from block to block; who can avoid dragging the rope on the ground, snagging rock points, or involuntarily throwing clove hitches around occasional branches; who at last reach the top with no snarls in their rope, having not once uttered "Wait a minute!" nor suffered any feeling of irritation, or are for that matter still on speaking terms—these three have achieved a good basic technique in the management of the rope. Should they learn belaying and rappelling as expertly, then moral support derived from their rope, if it is a good rope, will be based on a deserved confidence.
Continuous climbing (or roped walking).—Following is the procedure for dangerous, but not difficult climbing, in which an unchecked slip would be disastrous, but where a slip can easily be checked with a rope without use of a standing belay. The procedure also serves for easy going between difficult pitches, to save time of unroping, and is always used, with variations discussed later, on snow-covered glaciers.
1) Party ties in to rope. A, the leader, carries one loose
coil of rope to be paid out if the rope is jerked suddenly.
He climbs slowly enough to minimize the effort of B, the
weakest man, who carries the rest of the rope. He selects a
route behind trees or smooth rock points, so that these can
serve as belay points in case of fall. On short, tough pitches
he may gather in rope from B after he is up.
2) B and C watch the rope ahead, prevent its snagging
in brush or loosening rocks, and keep it just taut enough
to prevent dragging. They carry extra rope in neat coils in
one hand, take up or pay out coils if they go faster or slower than the man ahead, and climb as well as they can with the free hand.
3) If there is any chance of a dangerous slip by one or the other, each man continually anticipates the stances he must assume quickly and effectively in order to stop the fall.
