An automatic belay device (AKA [also known as] auto belay) takes up slack as you climb, thereby negating the need for a belayer on the ground. When the climber reaches the top, or if they fall, the device automatically catches the climber and slowly lowers them to the ground.  1, record 2, English, - automatic%20belay%20device

The running belay is an old technique that is still occasionally used for the time it save. Both climbers tie in and move simultaneously. There is no belayer. The leader places occasional protection and clips the rope through it. In a fall, the rope - running through the protection - will be held at some point by the weight of the other climber, because the rope is tied to both climbers' harnesses and neither is anchored. ... If either climber falls, both may fall - and a big fall is arrested only by dragging one's partner.  1, record 15, English, - running%20belay
