A skill that I didn't really practise at all in my first few years leading. I'm still a long way from mastering it despite getting a lot more practise over the years.
I have first hand experience of having the rope wrapped around my arm, grabbing at and dislodging gear, getting inverted, pendulums and the resulting bruises, inactive gri gri belays resulting in sprained ankles, belayer as crash pad and many more I'd rather not remember. |
