Layback Crack Climbing

This website is dedicated to analyzing layback crack climbing, and many core elements of climbing in general, from a scientific approach.

The first page, "Friction and Forces" will review basic physics concepts and apply them to several aspects of climbing. It especially focuses on friction and elasticity.

The next page, "Basic Climbing" will continue to apply physics concepts to various areas of climbing, as well as introduce basic concepts of climbing.

"The Crack" will focus entirely on layback crack climbing, and how physics can help us learn it.
