>>2529664yeah over rocks and sharp areas having a wrap for the rope is gonna be a good idea and also gonna extend your rope life. get good gloves like the ones in the pic (petzl makes good climbing gear) make sure everything that gonna hold weight is rated for way more than you will ever use it for. yes the breaking hand usually will be at the back when rappelling. learn what a prussik and VT prussik knot's are and how to tie them. pulleys are gonna be used later as you get more knowledge and applied skill. fingerless gloves are a big no no always full finger (ropes will burn you so fast you cannot imagine) let me know if you have any other questions.
