Which item is NOT listed as equipment for The Wall with Belay?

• A. Auto-locking steel carabiners to cable
• B. Gri-Gri
• C. Latex gloves
• D. Supersafe aluminum carabiner

Answer: (C)

Understanding gear that directly supports a belay setup. In The Wall with Belay, safety comes from hardware that secures the rope and lets the belayer control speed and friction. Auto-locking steel carabiners connected to the cable prevent accidental openings, keeping the system closed under load. The Gri-Gri is an assisted-braking device that gives the belayer a safer, controlled rope brake. A Supersafe aluminum carabiner provides a strong, reliable connector suited for frequent handling and dynamic loads. Latex gloves, although they protect the hands in various tasks, do not contribute to securing the rope or managing the belay in this context and can reduce tactile feedback, potentially hindering proper rope management. Because of that, latex gloves are not listed as equipment for The Wall with Belay.
