An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The fifi hook is a small question mark shaped piece of equipment used principally in aid climbing to quickly connect a climber to gear to take their weight. It can also be useful for free climbing, alpinism, mixed climbing and ice climbing. Typically made of stamped steel or forged alloy, it has a large hole at the bottom for connecting to one's harness and a smaller hole at the top for attaching a retrieval cord in case of a fall.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • The fifi hook is a small question mark shaped piece of equipment used principally in aid climbing to quickly connect a climber to gear to take their weight. It can also be useful for free climbing, alpinism, mixed climbing and ice climbing. Typically made of stamped steel or forged alloy, it has a large hole at the bottom for connecting to one's harness and a smaller hole at the top for attaching a retrieval cord in case of a fall. Due to its open shape it offers very little strength and requires a great deal of caution when used. If a fifi hook is being used as a main rest support, using a backup carabiner is recommended. (en)
  • La fifi es un gancho de aluminio de unos 7 cm que se usa en escalada como sistema de anclaje-desanclaje simple, es el más rápido y sencillo. Dispone de dos orificios, el recuperador en su parte superior y el conector en la inferior. Existen dos tipos de fifi, la fija y la regulable, en los dos casos sus objetivos son los mismos: * Anclarse el escalador. * Recuperar los estribos en escalada artificial. * Recuperar material. Cada una de estas maniobras requiere un atado y manejo distinto de la fifi. (es)
