Wait... the opposite of "Off Belay" is "In Belay"?  I've been doin' it wrong all these years.

Nah dude, it's "out belay" nowadays. Get your ass out of 2003, man, this is 2017. Jeez, what an old crusty ;)

I'd rather do a regular double rope rappel with an ATC any day but I think its a good system to know. Core shot rope or for rapping if all you have is a grigri.

Knowing how to simul-rapp is good, too.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
