To avoid all the miscommuncations, why not come up with new terms right now? Something simple, something easily understood (both interms of sound and definition), something like:
"Anchor" - what the climbers yells to the belayer when the climber clips into the anchors. At this point the belayer can do whatever he/she feels like; untie, walk away, etc. (2-syllable)
"Take" - what the climber yells to the belayer when the climber wants the belayer to take in all the slack. The climber does not issue another command to the belayer UNTIL the climber is pulled up into the anchor. (1-syllable)
"Lower" - what the climber yells to the belayer when the climber wants to be lowered to the ground. (2-syllable)
Thoughts?
fixed misspelled miscommunication
