Hi belay dude - just lock off each time you take out the slack and you'd be right on the money. Good try - but still some other considerations to display. Happy climbing.
Instead of resorting to name calling, you might point out the deficiencies. It is a perversion of the Brake Under Slide method. More like non-Brake Over Slide
1. start with your right hand in the non-brake position
2. take your left hand off the rope
3. place left hand above your nonbraking right hand
4. slide your right hand down to the ATC
5. FINALLY return right hand to a semi brake position
For a test, why not have a climber jump off the wall unexpectedly just after step #2
@1968bigcity... lol. maybe I have an anger problem and maybe I don't. One thing that makes me angry is when idiots risk someone's life by not belaying properly. As for you making fun of the vid of me climbing with my SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER... nice. Congrats, your ridiculing skills are top knotch. I will bet a year's salary that my toughest send makes yours look like preschool... that is if you're even a climber... which I doubt. if you're not knowledgeable, why comment at all?? Prick.
Jesus, I have not seen one vid on here that is correct. You don't break when you think the climber is going to fall. YOU BREAK EVERY SINGLE GODDAMNED TIME YOU PULL SLACK OUT YOU AWFUL FUCKING JACKASS. You belay wrong, you lower wrong, and you probably smell terrible.
@wburgboy75 You have a real ANGER problem. If you have not seen one thats correct than make one, mr know it all. The video of you climbing up the wall i can see why you dont make one. fyi its not cool to smell people....
ok anyone whos watching this with the idea of then trying this out, DONT. you should never let the rope slid through your hand when lower, thr friction builds which means heat builds, and i have seem this take people by suprise and them let go of the rope. its fundamentally dangerous.
This is not a very safe way to belay. the only time that rope should not be in the break position is to pull rope throuhg the belay device, the rest of the time the rope needs to be in the break position that way you are always ready for tht climber to fall.
@torskeb Your wrong, you could just pay attention. theirs no right way to belay, there only different styles some organization have there own way of doing things. that don't make them "the right way"
@TheSkizsus there is old way, and new way. Old way is still being taught by the misinformed, and the under educated. As far as I care, it would be like going to a gym, and finding someone teaching you how to tie rope harnesses, tying in with a single bowline, and belaying with a munter.
All perfectly safe practices. Just like 2 generations ago, it was safe, to drink and smoke while pregnant, and to drive drunk with no seatbelt.
Times change. technique changes. Acceptable practice changes
@Northernblades well theirs nothing wrong with a rope harnesses they still use it in the military. I mean its not the best thing but it works and don't fail when done right. The old way the new way next year the new new way. some organization will say there way is right and other will its wrong . i don't think any one ever said its safe to drive drunk with no seat belt. tho
@TheSkizsus and juct for my last responce, what he is doinf is NEITHER old nor new style, but a poor variant mix ox the 2. having only adopted 1/2 of the changes.
The style does not resemble old ways.
it resembles an extreemly poor demonstration of the new ways.
you would think the first 10-15 times he got his hand caught in the device he would learn.
anyone who would say pay attention. well, sometimes you can not see a climber,
and if my hand is where his hands are, I would get BIT.

@Northernblades And just so where clear the guy in this video is not belaying the way i would teach.

@TheSkizsus I though hope not. Times change, sports grow and mature. Equipment improves and people learn from accidents.
This style, amongsted updated groups was ABOLISHED, nearly 10 years so.
at that time, I was still seeing it up near 50%
Now, 10 years after the Change, it is down to 10%
I would think it would be gone completly by now. But not yet.
I guess I am optimistic, I also thought smoking would be part of a past age now too. I was wrong there too.
