An aspect of big wall climbing is the lead climber's use of an additional "trail rope" (often a static rope) that they trail behind them as they ascend; it allows the lead and belayer to pass equipment on the climb (i.e. pieces of aid gear). Once the lead climber has reached the top of the pitch, they anchor their dynamic lead rope allowing the belayer to jumar up the lead rope, and focus on hauling up equipment on the trail rope. 1600: 1630: 5754: 5742: 847: 2034: 907: 5778: 877: 5766: 1881:, the use of some aid is common in big wall climbing; the scale of the routes means that sections may have difficulties that are way beyond the general route; in addition, abseil retreat from big wall routes is serious and complex (particularly with pendulums and traverses), and climbers will therefore use aid to maintain upward momentum (also called 1048:. The Great Trango Tower's east face and east buttress form the world's longest big wall climbs, and was the birthplace of high-altitude big wall climbing; the towers, including the adjoining Nameless Tower, are considered formidable and dangerous due to their extreme altitude, and include famous big wall routes such as 579:
6–10 pitches or 300–500 metres) that normally require a full day, if not several days, to ascend. In addition, big wall routes are typically sustained and exposed, where the climbers remain suspended from the rock face, even sleeping hanging from the face, with limited options to sit down or escape

Tension traverses and pendulums. Many big wall routes do not have crack systems (or other faults which can be used by climbers) that follow from the ground to the summit. Climbers use pendulums and tension traverses (i.e. a half-pendulum that uses rope tension for aid) to move between such crack

Traverse pitches. Some big wall routes will require a horizontal traverse, beyond a pendulum, to get to the next crack system; traverse pitches place additional strains on the non-leading climber as they cannot use fixed rope techniques to quickly follow on the lead climber, and almost have to

Food and water. Water is one of the heaviest elements the climbers have to carry, and big wall climbs typically require circa 3-4 liters per day per person to be hauled along the route (mistakes due to dehydration in the sustained and serious environment of big wall climbing can have serious

In addition to the above big walls, several other locations are regarded as having impressive big walls that are climbed. However, their level of challenge (sometimes due to the variable or poor quality of the rock) has not been as notable in the development of big wall climbing; they include

The duration and sustained exposure of big wall climbs require greater equipment—and equipment-handling skills—over and above what is required for multi-pitch routes. Big wall climbers need to be able to haul gear and supplies up the route as they climb (using pulleys and

format). Due to the length of the routes and the need to conserve energy and move quickly, the lead climber will anchor the dynamic lead rope after finishing the pitch, allowing the belayer to jumar up the lead rope (cleaning out the protection en route) using
1659:. Given the level of equipment and supplies needed, heavy-duty haul bags (including stuff sacks and rope bags) are used extensively in big wall climbing; self-locking rope capture pulleys are used for hauling up these haul bags on static/tag rope lines. 1093:.
