The best belayer in the world shows Megos, Sharma & Co how it's done

Ray Verseau has gained fame as the best belayer in the world. After several years of silence, he is back to remind the climbing community of the art of good belaying.

Together with Sasha DiGiulian, Michaela Kiersch, Margo Hayes, Alex Megos, Sean Bailey and Chris Sharma - some of the world's best athletes to whom he passes on his knowledge - Ray Verseau once again shows how important good belaying is in climbing.
