Belay, to To secure a climber. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Belay station A safe stance consisting of an anchor, a rope, and a belayer (aka "the belay") -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Belayer The person at the belay station securing the climber. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Belay on When the belayer is ready to belay the climber up, he yells "Belay on". (At least in the US, "belay on" would only confuse the hell out of a British climber who prefers to hear "Climb when ready").
