Hey there, I rock climb at my school, I'm the best in my class but I don't know if I simply suck at belaying or the kids in my class are just really heavy, when I belay I always get pulled into the wall, am I doing anything wrong?

@Northernblades His off hand becomes the break hand when he is sliding his right hand up. It wouldn't have gone anywhere
-
as for any douche who sais you shoudl use a grigri. anyone who is not using a grigri EXACTLY like that is a fool.

@katieco09 what you on about, he always has his hand on the braking side of the rope there is no danger in this technique compared to others.

@katieco09 The belay device is in the break position when he removes his hand. There is no danger.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS KEEP BOTH HANDS ON THE ROPE!!!! What the eff is he doing? >=(

I dont like the "under slide" technique. When you slide your hand, if she was to take a massive fall, I'd want to have my right hand on the rope-end. The whole idea of sliding is GOOD, but you'd save time switching left and right.

Wow, finally someone who is belaying properly!!!
5-stars! - This is the safest way you can belay. Palms down resting in the brake position.
