To all those who think you can only indirect belay just look where the available anchors are.

This generally looks ok, (as long as it's all safe and locked), is the priority! One thing he hasn't done, by the looks of it, is he hasn't secured himself to the anchor on his right side, this is a must, using an extra carabiner and clove hitched roped onto it, unless he is completely unable to do so. If this is for beginners, he needs to start from the very beginning, because this isn't what that is, that's from when the lead climber tops out, plus ''how to belay', that's not what this is showing either, this is just alignment principles. Other than those few points, this is fine.

if the climber weighs the rope it would seem you'd be in a bad position to either escape the belay or do a direct setup to lift the climber (if they wanted/needed that). Maybe i'm over-complicating it?

Why can't you just attach the belay device (eg ATC) to the anchor with one sling and yourself with another sling? So you are separate from the belaying system. Also, the belay device should be in a self-blocking mode not?

I don't attach the belaying device to my body, but rather to the belaying stance.

How not to belay and hurt yourself... That is basicly it!

first belay device is all wrong for bringing climber from down, second you need an autoblock in the system, third gloves said so team BMC rocks ....you teach us a lot we understand it is just an intro an overall
