On every climb I have been on some common unanticipated problem has arisen. Here are a few:
1. Can't find the start of the route 2. Belayer can't hear the climber and vice versa 3. Cluster f*** at the anchor due to other teams (rappelling or climbing) 4. Can't find the right piece of pro 5. Can't clean the nut, or worse yet, can't remove the cam 6. Running out of gear (carabiners, runners, pro) on the pitch 7. Can't find the rappel anchor(s); Is this the rappel route? Rappel rope too short 8. Rappel rope stuck
I am sure that there are many other such problems that could be added to this short list. Wouldn't it make sense to present these problem situations along with solutions so that new climbers would not have to face them for the first time on the route?
