A couple of terms that will help with this site.
Belayer - A person, 14 years or older, that will spot the climber. They will manage the rope. When the climber advances their position,
the rope is pulled through the "Belay" devise, keeping the climber safe. Our knowledgeable staff will train the belayer on what to
do. The climbing harness is required to belay.
