AMGA and OR Present | Lowering From A Loaded Belay Plate

AMGA and OR’s Climbing Fundamentals Video Series | Lowering From A Loaded Belay Plate

Lowering from a loaded belay plate is a headache. Learn how to release an autoblocking belay device to provide a bit of slack or to lower a climber by rocking the carabiner or redirecting the plate with a sling. Watch this video to learn how.

The American Mountain Guide Association and Outdoor Research teamed up to create a video series focused on rock climbing technique and safety. Be sure to tune into this video series.
