Task · part of 11. Climbing: tie in, then three routes with a belayer
11(a). Tie a belay rope directly to your harness
Required
Shown, the correct way. This sentence appears again word for word as requirement 12(a).
Notes and warnings
Note. This sentence appears twice on the badge, word for word: it is also requirement 12(a). That is how it reads on the official page and in the 2025 requirements book, so it is not a slip on this site. Ask your counselor how they want it handled. That is their call, and it is better asked before your session than during it.
Where this step comes from
- Climbing Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-09-19), Requirement 11(a) · Word for word identical to requirement 12(a) in both the official page and the 2025 requirements book.
