<p>Some of my climber friends are pretty fast climbers with a speed of about 20s for a 10m long route. The really fast ones use auto-belaying-systems seen on speed climbing competitions. </p> <p>Those auto-belaying-systems are not available everywhere, so sometimes it can be done manually with a conventional belay device. </p> <p>The belaying procedure can become pretty hectic and exhaustive to pull in this much rope in such a short time. Are there special techniques or portable belay devices that relieve the belaying person? </p>
