About Rocked

Rocked is an independent reference for recreational climbers. We publish plain-language guides to climbing technique, bouldering, knots and rope systems, gear, and safety — from first holds to building your first anchor.

Every guide follows the same structure: an overview, what the topic is and how it works, a step-by-step method, the gear you’ll use, common mistakes to avoid, tips and variations, and frequently asked questions.

Climbing involves real risk. Our guides are general education, not instruction or certification, and never a substitute for learning from a qualified instructor in person. Rocked is not affiliated with any climbing brand, gym, or equipment maker.
