"I also liked the comment earlier about being on belay being a contract with your partner, where your life is the colateral. From the point of on belay to off belay, the belayer is under contract to do everything possible to keep you safe and alive."
One of the main things I teach in 101 classes is that the terms On Belay, and Climbing are not statements. They are questions the climber is asking his/her belayer.
It's amazing how often I see climbers making these "statements" without the requisite safety checks. If you cannot communicate on the ground 3 feet from one another, then things are not likely to improve a 100 feet off the ground.
