Stirrup split belay

The belay is a skill that can be translated onto many different aerial apparatuses while utilizing many different “entries.” This tutorial video will demonstrate, step-by-step, an advanced entry named the “stirrup split” belay. Remember to always use proper rigging systems, fall protection and to always have a spotter when training aerial skills—especially if they are new.
