Lead Climber
Setting a safe route lets a lead climber catch a falling ally's mistake, downgrading a disastrous slip into a simple failure.
When climbing, you can prepare routes for others to follow, and you can pull your allies up to avoid disaster. When your allies attempt to Climb a route you set using the Follow the Expert exploration activity, if any of them critically fail their checks to Climb, you can attempt an Athletics check against the same DC. If you succeed, your ally only fails instead of critically failing. If you also critically fail, you both experience the consequences of the critical failure.
