When you climb to the top before you say low down what do you say? l forgot.

absailing?

l climbing

Top: On Rappell
Bottom: On Belay

Even though you're not technically rappelling, you're being lowered down, it is still the way to go.

It should be common sense for a DECENT belayer as they should be VERY focused on the climber is actions

You say ''take''
Then your belayer should say ''gotcha''

''Take''
or ''Comin' down''

As long as you make eye contact with your belayer, it does not really matter what you say.

Climber: ''Ready to come down ''Take or ''Tension'' r all acceptible
Belayer: ''Gotchya'' or ''Let go when ready'' informs climber that the belayer has taken up all available slack & locked off.
Climber: ''On you'' indicating to belayer climber has let go & is in position to be lowered.

You should use the same commands indoors as well as outdoors. Repetition of safe practices will keep u safe. That way if something goes wrong everyone will notice immediately.

l usually say ''Lower me'' and the belayer says ''Lowering''.

Once down at the bottom, l say ''Belay off?'' and he responds ''Off belay''.
