Climbing during a storm is extremely dangerous and it is usually recommended not to climb in such situations. However, if it is unavoidable, some ways to reduce the risk include: 1. **Choose the right climbing route**: Choose short, easy-to-retreat routes and avoid routes that are exposed to the wind and rain. 2. **Use waterproof gear**: Wear waterproof clothing and make sure that important equipment such as mobile phones and lighting equipment are waterproof. 3. **Ensure equipment**: Use strong anchor points and reliable protection equipment, and make sure the rope is in good condition and can withstand the challenges of soaking and wind. 4. **Know the weather trends**: Pay close attention to the weather forecast before and during the trip. If the weather becomes too bad, retreat as soon as possible. 5. **Keep communication open**: Make sure at least one person has a working mobile phone and let others know your specific location and plans before starting the climb. 6. **Bring first aid supplies**: Prepare a first aid kit and have basic first aid knowledge to deal with potential emergencies. 7. **Teamwork**: Always climb with at least one climbing partner. Teamwork is even more important in storms. 8. **Escape Plan**: Design and practice an evacuation strategy ahead of time so that you can return quickly and safely if needed. Even with these precautions, rock climbing during a storm is still a high-risk activity, so the safest advice is to avoid it altogether.
