Who is responsible for bad belaying? 21-Nov-2007 At 12:37:20 PM certifi

Message

in reply to BP and Bob. my eye is fine thanks. i consider myself to have a solid understanding of
dynamic belaying techniques. i have been trad leading for around 14 months now and have done around
twenty five outdoor leads in both the gramps, araps, camels hump and werribie up to about grade 17-18.
i have climbed as large as 6 pitch climbs and have done allot of single pitch climbing. i dont for a second
think that i know everything, i understand there is allot to learn and a long time to learn it properly. bob
what do you mean "formal outdoor training"? like certificates of something? in which case no, but as i
said before i have been trading a while and believe im more than competent. i try to get outdoors as
much as possible. although with exams i havnt in about 6 weeks, but i will hopefully this weekend.

in reply to the caving guy, i know what you mean about no communication and wind and all that stuff, iv
experienced it outdoors and its quite scary. but you dont expect it in a gym is all i was saying.
