Checking last season news especially those coming from USA I've noticed a new slang word that is used almost by every top climber there: RIG. Would anyone be so gentle to try to help me understand that word and its uses? Thanks so much in advance!!!
RIG is defined as anything having to do with THE RIG. Examples: "DWoods is firing RIGS like its his job son!" or "My DAWG, DG just found some sweet new RIGS at Elkland... Psyched!" or "Have you tried P-Rob's sick Red Rocks RIG?' For further clarification head to: www.firetherig.com
should be notet that a rigg, or rigging in norwegian refers to making a (often complicated) climbing related thing with ropes, knots and lots of other things. eks; making a ropejump would require a lot of rigging, and a big rigg (ankre point)..or installing a portaledge or something. Alpinisme/big wall in general would involve a lot of rigging. Rigging can also be done with sole purpuse of just making a rigg. Some climbers i know have went out climbing, and just spent all the time making a rigg, and hardly done any climbing.
What does 'RIG' mean in climbing context?
