Barnacle Ben wrote:What kind of program did you do to train for the belay? Or are you one of those 'the best way to train for belaying is just do lots of belaying' people.
This my favorite thread of all times.

Wow, I met Blake for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea that he knew an iconic belayer. I can only hope that some day I am lucky enough to witness the belay skills. I am can't wait to get my BM today.

Too bad Off Belay magazine is out of print. I'm sure they would have done a feature story on this, or had a 'belay photo issue' about this time of year. I'm all for the 'Women Belayers of Climbing' calendar going to print soon.

BM (BelayMagazine) will have an online feature for you to record all you belays sends...yes, onsight belays are more points...much more of the skill is required since you don't know the exact clipping slack...top rope belays will not count...sorry. One of our best feature will be a video of belay of the week...
