Footholds will usually be the same as handholds,sooner or later, depending upon which way the man isclimbing, and are normally used as push holds. A Bramanior sneaker rubber sole will hold on slabs up to about 45°.On such steep slopes the body should be kept vertical, orshould lean out, with use being made of small irregularitiesin the slope to aid friction. Footholds less than half an inchwide can suffice for intermediate holds, even when theyslope out. A shoulder stand will overcome a short, holdlesspitch. The top man should decide where and when he isgoing before, not after, he is standing on the somewhatsensitive tissue padding the low man's shoulder. |
