Keep your brake hand low and pay attention. When belaying, make sure to keep your brake hand low, whatever belay device you use. And don’t let go. When belaying, pay attention and focus on the climber as their life is in your hands. Save your chatting to friends for when you aren’t belaying.

There are plenty of distractions when climbing indoors but when belaying your only responsibility is to the climber. Pay attention and focus on them as their life is in your hands. Save chatting to your friends for later.

With a wide variety of devices on the market, always read the manufacturer’s guidance and watch their user films online.
