Record 3 2010-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mountain Sports
CONT

Standing stances: in the standing position there are only two points of contact with the rock. With one foot well forward, the average belayer can hold 200 pounds from below, but less than half as much with a pull to the side or with the feet together. Belaying a leader from a standing position ... is extremely weak if the pull is forward. It should be done only with a short tight rope to the anchor, which will take most of the force, or when standing just below the first protection so that you can not be pulled over.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sports de montagne
CONT
