CG tech tip of the day: practice down climbing. For me, down climbing is mentally challengig because it forces me to look at all the exposure below (eek). But practice makes perfect. It's an essential skill for the aspiring alpinist- especially if you're interested in ridge traverses! Practice in the gym or on TR.
