i always took running belays to mean one where the bottom climber wa unanchored ... whether simuling or not ...

in this UIAA document ... i doubt that that running belay simply means top piece as we have ... stance vs. running belay



edit ... i should clarify my running=dynamic belay ... what i should have said is an unachored belay and thus possibly dynamic ... bleh

not that it really matters except to RC folks ... its not like were dealing with stuff like "lower", "on/off belay", "climb on" ... which can have real consequences if your screw up the terminology

if i need what some people may call a "running belay" ... i tell my belayer in no uncertain terms to "run the fcuk back" should i fall
