  • Bad technique. You could kill somebody this way. If they fall unexpectedly, your belaying arm is NOT in the braked position!

  • Comment removed

  • wrong you will not be able to catch a fall belaying that way, always bring hand with dead rope back behind and below the belay device at least that way you will have better chance of catching a fall!!!

  • @HarryPotter573 i would rather be stuck in a bouldering cave then have this guy as my anchor.

  • DeadDeathz so if this is not the proper way are there so many videos on here showing this method also why was this the method i was tought in the gym

  • thats what i use, it is what my teacher, who is certified to teach it, taught me, it works, is most effective, and you still need to have the belay attached to the harness.

  • This is a wrong method of belaying. if the climber falls unexpectedly, the belay may not be able tocatch the fall.

  • Tar for this video lad just helped me with my coursework

  • thats a funky way of belaying...

    looks a bit dodgy to me, looks hard to lock off if somebody falls unexpectedly

  • This is a funny video.

  • Better to teach techniques that are as safe as possible and that would be used outdoors. I've seen too many people doing too many silly things.

  • The belayer should be connected to the belay device. This is not so in the video.

    The first clip uses a gri-gri ... if this is used in the second clip, there is no special "lock-off" action as long as the free rope end is held.

    If an ATC or similar is used, the belayer should be locking off after each pull in of the rope.

  • no, the shouldnt, its also ok if it is connected to the ground shown here.

  • I mean the belay device should be connected to the belayer, as well as the ground.

  • well, it doesnt have to be connect to the belayer, in our school, we just hold the rope and keep pulling it so their is no slack.
