just behind the loop (of the belay device) Explanation: Despite the strange spelling 'carabeiner' for 'karabiner', this I imagine is what is meant. (If you go to the page I've given, you'll see a picture, beneath which they mention the wisdom of having a 'plate' (also illustrated) just as in your text.) The system pictured has three elements. First, the carabeiner. The carabeiner (always a locking one when used with a belay device!) is clipped through the black plastic loop of the belay device, and the loop of rope that was threaded through the device. The second element is the belay device itself. The loop it has on the bottom, clipped into the beiner, is there to assure that the belay devices can't travel up the rope while belaying Reference: http://www.myoan.net/climbart/belaydevices.html |
