| Belaying (535 words) |
| Ideally, the belay device or hitch should be securely attached to a bombproof anchor which is separate from the standing line anchor. |
| A severe fall by the climber may cause back or internal injuries to a body belayer due to the sudden load which may be imparted to the belayer during a fall. |
| Belaying should be performed with a suitable belay device or with a Munter Hitch, not your body. |
