Rock Climbing: Free Intro to Belaying

On Belay? Belay's On! 

What is belaying? 
The process of securing and safeguarding a climber by using a rope and belay device to hold the climber's weight if they fall. The ascending climber and the belayer, or the person holding the rope through a belay device, are a team that is linked together by the rope. Belaying is an important part of the climbing chain of safety and one of the most important skills that any novice climber must master to become a safe climber. (About.com) 

Students learn how to put on a harness, tie the Figure 8 follow through knot, and properly perform the PLUS (Pull, Lock, Under, Slide) belay technique.
