Belay Device

Assuming that the climber and belayer are all harnessed up and the climber is tied in, the belayer needs some way to hold on to the end of the rope. Hence the Belay Device. A Sticht Plate (ATC, Bug, etc) is often used for Lead Climbing and/or Top Roping, and a Grigri can be used. Grigri's are more expensive lock automaticly.
