Mountain climber - center of gravity, tension, angles

[BlueSkyy]

Homework Statement

A mountain climber is rappelling down a vertical wall (the figure below ). The rope attaches to a buckle strapped to the climber's waist 15 cm to the right of his center of gravity. If the climber weighs 770 N, find (a) the tension in the rope and (b) the magnitude and direction of the contact force exerted by the wall on the climber's feet.

# (a) 750 N; (b) 310 N at 22° above the horizontal
# (a) 730 N; (b) 330 N at 19° above the horizontal
# (a) 730 N; (b) 300 N at 16° above the horizontal
# (a) 750 N; (b) 330 N at 19° above the horizontal
# (a) 770 N; (b) 300 N at 16° above the horizontal

Homework Equations

basic equations...
F = ma
sin = o/h
cos = a/h
tan = o/a

The Attempt at a Solution

well...
i don't really know where to start.
i have examples of the rope being attached to the climber's CoG, so i tried to work the problem like one of those and came out with a tension of 744 N.

any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

This is an equilibrium problem, so apply the conditions for equilibrium: The forces (in any direction) must add to zero and the torques (about any point) must add to zero.
