Belaying is one of the most important skills in climbing as your partner's safety is in your hands. Belaying means you control movement of the rope to protect the climber at the other end of it. It's possible to do without a device, but it's a lot safer and easier to use one as devices act as brakes on climbing ropes by applying friction to them. Regular or passive devices put a bend in the rope to create enough friction to help stop a fall. They're lightweight, simple and versatile. Auto-locking and auto-blocking devices use an active mechanism that clamps down on a loaded rope. Auto-block devices attach directly to the belay anchors instead of the harness. Belay devices come in various styles and sizes.
