Lead rope soloing, or belayed solo climbing, is developing into a discipline in its own right. Dozens of forums, blogs and reports online show the growing interest in this very special form of climbing. In a risk analysis, Daniel Gebel, developer at EDELRID, will show how LRS differs from classic rope team climbing.
