Climbing at the arb show

[Island Lescure]

For fun, I would like to do a climb at the show. I have never participated in this sort of thing before so I just want to make sure that I don't get disqualified for whatever reason.

 

I have read the rules...

 

I am thinking of doing the premier climb as I can set up my own line but;

Do you have to set one main anchor from the start and leave it? I don't have a big shot so I don't necessarily get the best/top anchor from the first go. If I can't reach the optimal crotch, I go with what I can get and then climb up to set up my main anchor. can one do this?

 

Can one use SRWP for the whole thing? Using Rope Wrench and hitchlimber.

 

That is all I can think of right now.

 

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers!

Novice, Expert and Premier climbs it seems. First two have the rope already set up and last you set up your own rope.

 

I am definitely far from a super climber but I have never had someone set up my line for me, which is why I was thinking of going the premier route.

I could be tempted to organize an SRT workshop around Sheffield, though I would need an SRT expert to present it I think. If you know one, let me know and we might get something going. It would be fun
