Vertical caving terminology and methods > Ladders, climbs and older techniques
Anything that can be used to support a foot, and take the partial or complete weight of a climber, during a climb or traverse. This needs to be in a position where it is useful for this purpose during the climb. It might be a ledge, a nodule, a rock, a stalagmite, a piece of metal, or anything else. It could be an artificial notch, created to facilitate climbing.
