Question

What is ‘rapling’?

Answer 1

Hint: A sturdy rope, sling, stick, and axe are required for mountain climbing. Food packets, a water bottle, a hook, a plastic sheet, a diary, a torch, a towel, soap, a windcheater, a whistle, glucose, jiggery, chana, and snakes are among the other items.

Complete answer:
Mountaineering, often known as mountain climbing, is a sport that involves reaching, or attempting to reach, high points in mountainous locations, primarily for the enjoyment of the climb.
Mountain climbing is divided into three categories: ice climbing, trail climbing, and rock climbing.

Rapling: Rapling is the act or method of descending a steep incline or past an overhang using a double rope secured above and around the body, commonly under the left leg and over the right shoulder, and paid out gradually along the descent.

Mountaineering Techniques - While all three stages of the sport—hiking, rock climbing, and snow and ice technique—are required for a complete mountaineer, each is significantly different. Within those categories, there are considerable differences, and even the most competent mountaineers will have variable levels of proficiency in each. Climbers who are skilled will establish a balance that is appropriate for their physical and mental talents and approach.

Rope handling is a delicate technique that can be used on snow, ice, or rock. There must be enough rope for the pitch to be climbed as well as enough length for rappelling. The rope is treated with the utmost care and respect as a lifeline. On the climb, a good rope handler is a valuable asset. The techniques needed are difficult to acquire and must be honed through practice.

Note: Autar Singh Cheema (1933–1989) was the first Indian man to climb Mount Everest and the sixteenth person in the world to do it. After two failed efforts, he was part of the Indian Army's third mission to climb Mt. Everest in 1965, along with eight others.
