I had some funny encounters when I was belaying, be it for Camelot or for Innotrek and thought that I should share. Hah, so next time when I wanted to relief the moment I can refer back. Haha!
Okay, so when you want to go up a rock wall or to start going up any element, there's a command you should say.
01. "Am I on belay?"
- And the belay person would say, "Belay on."
02. "Squeeze-check,"
- "Check,"
03. "Climbing,"
- "Climb on,"
Haha, there's this common mistake they will make. Which is, they would replace the word "belay" to "delay". So it would sound like, "Am I on
delay?" Haha! Sometimes when I'm in the mood when I wanted to play, I would say, "Nope, you're not being delayed. You're on time. ^^" Haha!
Especially when the kids say them, their faces were cute! And one more, TOTALLY CLASSIC.
"C" stands for the climber, "M" of course stands for me.
C: Am I on
delay?
M: It's
belay.
C: No!
Delay!
M: -.-
Belay la! I'm the belayer I won't know the command?
Haha! And we're then both laughing at his mistake. Damn funny!
Belaying although is one job which will give me blisters, I do like it much. (: Haha, even if it gives me blisters on both my hands, so pain that I can't even hold things properly, I like it so. And the muscle aches it'll give me, I don't know for what reason gives me a feeling of happiness. Haha, I don't know! ^^
