Simul ClimbingA dangerous but efficient climbing technique where both climbers, climb at the same time. Neither climber is using a Belay Device. Both climbers are tied into the rope. Protection is placed by the leader. Multiple pieces of protection are always left between the leader and the second.
If the leader falls the second's body weight catches the leader's fall (the second will be pulled up). Your second should not fall (therefore place your best climber as the second). If the second weights the rope, the leader will be pulled off the rock often resulting in a bad fall. A second fall, results in the leader being pulled (by the falling second) straight into the last piece of protection. This often leads to high impact falls.
