SMG owner and guide, Mike O’Connor, demonstrates a simple and effective transition for belaying your partner to securing them on the same system once arrived. This is a great technique for transitions in alpine terrain. All information has been vetted by certified AMGA guides and instructors. Enjoy! - Smile Mountain Guides
