Clip

In lead climbing and sports climbing, a "clip" refers to the act of attaching the rope to a quickdraw that is already attached to a bolt or fixed anchor on the climbing route. The climber clips the rope through the carabiner to secure themselves as they ascend. This process is crucial for safety, as it helps minimize the length of a potential fall.

In lead climbing and sports climbing, "Clip" refers to the act of attaching the rope to a quickdraw that is already fixed on the climbing route. The climber does this to ensure safety by clipping the rope into the quickdraw. This helps in protecting the climber from falls and facilitates progress up the route. Proper clipping technique is crucial to avoid back-clipping or z-clipping, which can be hazardous.
