THE PHYSICS OF ROCK CLIMBING
Freedom of the HillsFun & challengingThe art, skill, & technique
Why do I rock climb?
What is rock climbing?
How does it work?
Special equipmentAnchors – force vectors
How is physics applied?
Belaying – works on friction
How is physics applied?
Rappelling – works on friction
How is physics applied?
Climbing – must balance forces on body
How is physics applied?
Force of Gravity
