I talk about the self check systems I teach my clients when they are learning about building belays, top/bottom ropes or abseil anchors. A simple commonly used structure to help develop judgement and keep folks safe. In this episode I talk about scoring of the gear in the belay/anchor and in the next one I will talk about a check list to run through before shouting 'safe' to your second, or commiting to using your top/bottom rope or abseil anchor.
