Whats wrong with a few more words? I've got into a pattern of making a few calls before taking off belay. Climber can say whatever they like, i'll tell them "i'll take you off belay", gives them a chance to stop me if it was mis-heard, or can confirm, then tell them when its done. Combine that with using names and even at crowded or echoing crags its hard to screw up. Might shit the surrounding climbers tho :p |
