The Effect of Belaying and Belayer Type on the Development of Interpersonal Partnership Trust in Rock Climbing.

Priest, Simon

Journal of Experiential Education, v18 n2 p107-09 Aug 1995

A study comparing the influence of the belayor on the development of trust between rock-climbing partners in a corporate adventure training program found that permitting clients to belay each other greatly enhanced the development of trust, as opposed to employing specialized technicians or facilitators for belaying.
