πŸ”·πŸŸ  Risk ​

Definition ​

  • Probability
    • Risk is about a 's of success, not risk of injury. There should be no risk of injury while Climbing
    • Improbable, Remote, Occasional, Probable, Frequent
  • Consequence of
    • Negligible, Marginal, Moderate, Critical, Catastrophic Risky Moves have a small margin for error.

WARNING

To minimize the Risk of Injury Climbers MUST avoid these Moves:

  • using can .
  • Climbing without gloves or tape can rip the skin on the back of hand and wrist.
  • down to a can injure shoulder joints.

Advantage ​

ClimberHeight

  • A tall Climber can reverse a Dyno which a shorter Climber couldn’t perform.
    • BypassRouteSection
      • ”Worth the risk”

Move Risk Factors ​

Accuracy ​

  • ()InverselyProportionalTo(Risk)
    • into a is Risky.
    • Adding a increases the Risk that the Climber will miss the .
from being Gripped in and or .
    • CausedBy()

BodyPosition

  • Position of Climber in space. Particularly the position of a Climber’s CenterOfMass.
  • BarnDoor

Irreversible ​

Definition(Irreversible)

  • A movement which can’t be reversed.

Get BradGobright quote about FreeSolo in Eldorado Canyon in ReelRock.

Dyno

Irreversible.MotoRisk(Low)

  • Movements which are reversible but with at least a moderate probability of resulting in a Fall.

BlindMove ​

ProprioceptiveMovement

  • Definition(ProprioceptiveMovement)
    • A Movement which relies on Proprioception (sensing the position of one’s body). Without being able to use one’s eyes to guide the Movement.

MotoRisk.ProprioceptiveMovement(+)

  • PaddleDyno
  • HiddenFootSwap
  • HiddenHandMatch
  • HiddenBumpMovement
  • HiddenRouteSurface

MotoRisk.ProprioceptiveMovement(-)

  • HandSwap
    • Hands have high Proprioceptive ability, but it is possible that they could make MovementError, such as FingerOverlap or not NoSurfaceLeft.

No Recovery ​

Definition(NoRecovery)

  • Climber can’t recover if MovementFailure happens. If HandSlip or FootSlip, or MissedTargetSurface happens, then Climber will not be able to recover control so that Climber doesn’t Fall.

  • No option to Redirect

  • Muscle can’t be used to regain control during Movement or after MovementFailure.

  • If Climber has an AnteSubmovementFailure, then Climber won’t be able to perform RecoveryMovement.

  • Not possible to muscle through a RouteSequenceError

    • HandMatch not possible, therefore HandSwap not possible
      • SmallHold, GripFatigue
  • ThresholdPassed

    β€œPast the point of no return”

  • Barndoor

    • What is the PhysicsName for the threshold of a Barndoor, beyond which is a Fall?
    • Does Barndoor imply Fall. A Barndoor can be used for LateralDynamicMovement
  • Dyno

    • Unable to return to the Holds used to during LaunchPhase of Dyno

Environment ​

WallType can modify MotoRisk or RouteRisk.

  • SlabWall increases Risk of SlipMovement.
  • NoShadowHold
  • SmallHold
  • SlightConcavityHold

LowRiskMovement ​

  • Stand on (Ledge, Ground)
  • Kneebar
    • ShallowKneebar is riskier than DeepKneebar.

      • WetRouteSurface
    • JugGrip.Risk(-)
      • 2_JugGrip
  • Standing
  • Sitting
  • RestPosition
  • ShakeOut

HighRiskMovement ​

  • FootSwap where supporting FootPosition must be maintained
    • FootCrossSwap
  • SlotMovement
    • FootSlot
    • HandSlot
  • PaddleDyno
  • Multiple ClimberPart Smearing on SlabWall
