How did the mountaineers belay?
उत्तर
Belaying refers to a variety of techniques used by mountaineers to exert tension on a climbing rope so that a climber does not fall very far. A climbing partner typically applies tension at the other end of the rope whenever the climber is not climbing and removes the tension from the rope when the climber needs a rope to continue to climb.

concealed his face, there was no disguising
his grin of delight as he looked all around
