First a correction on my part , currently it ' s 40 lbs because I ' ve decided to enjoy beer now that it ' s raining here in the PNW . Well with her that much lighter I have to be VERY attentive to give a soft catch , I always have to be ready to jump . Recently she was leading a corner route that is vertical . The bolts were on the right side , moves at this point were all on the left wall . I was standing just right of the lower bolt . I moved forwardjumped lightly when she fell , I barely got off the ground and she got spiked . I realized that I really have to put energy into my jump and time it just right to give a soft catch . As for her belaying me , in the gym I never worry because of the close bolt spacing . One of our local crags has a few routes that start from a ledge with a drop below and bolts which are spaced a bit more than body length . There I ask her to clip to the belay anchor it ' s equipped with nylon and a locker to clip to your belay loop until I get past the second bolt . Here ' s a great video for weight differences of climbers , actually shot at our home crag . The climber skipped the first bolt getting up to that ledge which is low 11 moves . The route he is on is a full 35 m to the third set of chains 11 b to first , 12 d to second , 13 bc to third chains . I can ' t even get to the second set of chains , so I don ' t know the exact spacing but I ' m guessing the 13 has pretty big runs since it ' s way up and overhanging . w h i p p e r v i d e o w e ekendwhipperbelayerrocket
