Aralin 1Bolt belay construction: paggamit ng fixed hangers, bolt-to-bolt anchor layouts, slings at locking carabiners, paglikha ng clean master pointPagbuo ng kasanayan sa pagtatayo ng malinis, redundant na bolt belays gamit ang fixed hangers, tamang bolt-to-bolt connections, slings, at locking carabiners, habang iniiwasan ang cross-loading, clutter, at masamang orientasyon ng master point at rope systems.
