Detailed Class on Belaying Devices. You will learn the differences between most common belaying devices and best techniques to use them.

Covering all existing devices in one video would be impossible, but after this video you will be able to switch to almost any belaying device without to much trouble (But always read the manual of Your belaying device to learn device specific nuances).

This video is NOT a complete Belaying Tutorial! It only shows how to use belaying devices! Proper Belaying goes beyond that and I'll be covering other belaying aspects in my future videos!
