How To Kill The Alligator Belay Technique

September 15, 2016 by Jason Clements

How To Kill The Alligator Belay TechniqueWhen I posted my How To Not Die At 24 Hours Of Horseshoe Hell article, the number one question I received was:

So I made, probably, the most important climbing video of 2016.  In it, I show you how to kill the Alligator Belay Technique.

The most important point of this series of articles and this video

is that there is a defined moment (I call it the Danger Moment) when you are lead belaying and if these 3 things happen right at the moment that your partner yells “TAKE” or “ON YOU” and you begin to pull slack.

  1. If your muscle memory reverts back to the dangerous alligator belay method;
  2. and your hands meet above your head;
  3. and your climber weighs the rope…

…then you have a gigantic potential for a ground fall.  This is exactly what I witnessed and describe in the How Not To Die…article.

So, for those of you who are serious about improving your belay technique, I give you How To Kill The Alligator Belay Technique.

These 6 minutes just might save you and your climbing partners from injury or worse.
