Rock climbing with bare hands in a violent storm is extremely dangerous behavior, **It is strongly recommended to avoid such situations**. However, if you are in an extremely urgent situation and there is no other choice (such as being trapped on a cliff and unable to return), the following suggestions are only used as a theoretical emergency reference： --- ###**Core principle: Reduce risk and give priority to life-saving** 1. **Stop climbing and wait for rescue** If possible, you should immediately find temporary shelters (such as rock crevices or under convex rocks), keep your body temperature, and wait for the weather to improve or rescue. Heavy rains are usually short-lived, and the risk of venturing to climb is much higher than waiting. 2. **Absolutely avoid slippery rocks** Heavy rains can cause granite, shale and other rock surfaces to be extremely slippery, especially areas overgrown with moss or washed by water. Sandstone may loose in heavy rains, so you need to be extremely vigilant for falling rocks. --- ###**Emergency strategy when you have to** #### 1. **Re-route** -Give priority to ** inward inclination or vertical rock walls** (avoid the outward inclination elevation angle), and look for paths with natural grooves, cracks, or vegetation roots. -Avoid waterfalls, water channels, and loose gravel slopes, and choose dry rock surfaces (such as the leeward side of rock walls). #### 2. **Control the center of gravity of the body** -**Three-point contact principle**: Always ensure that three points in your hands and feet are in stable contact with the rock wall. -**Stick to the rock wall**: Use the center of gravity of your body close to the rock surface to reduce the impact of the strong wind; move sideways to reduce the windward area. -**Test slowly**: Use your toes to test the friction force at each step to avoid long-span movements. #### 3. **Use of environmental resources** -**Temporary tools**: Wrap the palm of your hand with clothing to increase friction, or pick up branches or rock wedges stuck into gaps as temporary fulcrum points. -**Natural anchor points**: Look for prominent tree roots and strong rock corners, and use belts and torn strips of clothing to make simple fixed points (but the reliability is extremely low). #### 4. **Prevent temperature loss and injury** -**Maintain core body temperature**: Wrap the torso in plastic bags, leaves, etc. to avoid hypothermia caused by rain. -**Protect the head**: Wrap the head with clothing to prevent falling rocks or impact. --- ###**Risks that must be kept in mind** -**Fatal consequences**: Slippery rock surfaces may cause instant slippage, and the probability of survival is extremely low when there is no protective equipment. -**Visibility and low temperature**: Heavy rain will blur the line of sight, and low temperature may cause muscle stiffness and decreased judgment. -**Lightning strike risk**: If you encounter lightning and lightning on an open rock wall, you should squat down immediately to reduce the contact area, but the height is still extremely dangerous. --- ###**Ultimate advice: Prevention is far better than emergency response** -**Check the weather in advance**: Avoid planning outdoor activities in bad weather. -**Carry basic equipment**: At least have a waterproof jacket, headlights, first aid kit and communication equipment. -**Inform others of your itinerary**: Make sure someone knows your location and plan. **There is only one life, so don't mistake adventure for courage. ** In case of distress, please call the local rescue number immediately.
