![]() ![]() I want to ask just how dummy proof the ATC belaying devices are which are used at my rock climbing place. I am quite a paranoid person and always have the fear that a belayer would accidentally drop me, and so I always double or triple check with the belayer that he/she has a hold before I let go of the wall. It just seems too easy for a beginner to forget some method and accidentally let go of the rope, or even over-estimate their confidence of descending the climber and getting rope burn and thus letting it go. I understand that the first thing is to find someone you are confident in but even that person could lose concentration for a second and make a mistake. However, for me I think the toughest thing is the trust of the belayers I usually climb with and trusting them with my life. I really enjoy the first few climbs so far. ![]() I'm someone who has recently got into rock climbing and have joined my local climbing group to climb every week with strangers.
