SAFETY Equipment: All entrants must bring the following climbing equipment • Climbing harness, which must have a waist belt, 2 leg straps and a proper point of attachment for a

safety line. • Pole strap of a sufficient length to encircle the pole and be safely attached to both sides of the

harness with a minimum of twin locking snaps. • Set of climbing spikes. • Working boots and gloves. • All equipment will be inspected before the event to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for the

situation. Safety ropes and all fixings to the pole will be provided. The Chief Judge will check each entrant on the following points prior to allowing a climb to proceed • The climbing equipment is correctly fitted, secured and adjusted. • The pole strap is around the pole and secured to the harness at both ends. • The safety line is running free through the top of the pole and secured to the correct coupling on the

climbers harness. • The person belaying the climber understands the task and is ready. • The climber is ready and outwardly capable of completing the climb. Once the Chief Judge is satisfied that these requirements have been met, he will allow the starter to start the climb. When the climb is completed, the climber should rest until sufficiently recovered to climb down the pole with the belayer controlling the descent. If the climber is incapacitated for any reason, then the belayer will take his full weight and control his descent.

'Climber by your pole. Three, two, one, GO' On "GO", the climber will start the climb and when at the top of the pole, will press a button.

TIMING AND RECORDING

All timing will be done by electronic timing equipment. Each clock will be started automatically when the climber's foot leaves the ground and activates the start switch. The clock will be stopped automatically when each climber pushes the button at the top of the pole. This time will be recorded in writing. A stopwatch will also be taken for each race based on visual observations of starting and finishing, and will also be recorded in writing.

TIME CHECKING AND DISPUTES

Every time in each event will be recorded in writing. It is the responsibility of each climber directly after the event to check the recorded times and agree with the timers.
