No good belay devices yet?	18-Oct-2010 At 12:18:46 PM	kiwifi

I'm usually lighter than the people I climb with (~50kg vs ~80kg, I presume 30kg is a substantial difference.). My concern is that the leader will deck (because of the difference in weight) if they fall between say the 1st and 2nd bolt. With that in mind I tend to not have heaps of slack out when belaying a (sport) leader, especially at the start of a climb and I try to be fairly close to wall OR if it is available I have something anchoring me to the ground (i wear a helmet so i figure small stones or falling gear probably won't knock me out.) Is this completely mis-guided? What is good practice for 'light-weight' belayers? Any links or articles on this would be really appreciated. Cheers
