The rock-climbing equipment needed varies materially depending on the type of rock climbing being undertaken. Starting from the least equipment-intensive type of climbing, the general equipment needs are as follows: [1] Free solo climbing, and its deep-water soloing variant, require the least equipment as no climbing protection or ropes are used.
ATI improved quality control, manufacturing and availability of the API product line, re-establishing API as one of the leading American analog pro audio brands. New product introductions, including the Vision surround-capable studio console, as well as the re-engineering of the 1604 small-frame mixing console into the 1608 brought the API ...
The top rope anchor point must be 1000 mm higher than the climbing wall and stand out 1000 mm from the wall. The layout for mounting the holds is based on a concept of square panels with a size of 1500 mm x 1500 mm each. Thus 20 panels, 10 vertically by 2 horizontally, form one of the two lanes.

A belay device is a mechanical piece of climbing equipment used to control a rope during belaying. [1] It is designed to improve belay safety for the climber by allowing the belayer to manage their duties with minimal physical effort. With the right belay device, a small, weak climber can easily arrest the fall of a much heavier partner.
A A-grade Also aid climbing grade. The technical difficulty grading system for aid climbing (both for "original" and an adapted version for "new wave"), which goes: A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and up to A6 (for "new wave"). See C-grade.

Mixed climbing is a climbing discipline used on routes that do not have enough ice to be pure ice climbs, but are also not dry enough to be pure rock climbs.To ascend the route, the mixed-climber uses ice climbing equipment (e.g. double ice tools and crampons), but to protect the route, they use both rock-climbing equipment and ice climbing equipment.
The energy needed for mixing comes from a loss in pressure as fluids flow through the static mixer. [2] One design of static mixer is the plate-type mixer and another common device type consists of mixer elements contained in a cylindrical (tube) or squared housing. Mixer size can vary from about 6 mm to 6 meters diameter.
