What's the correct way to belay(top-rope) someone on a slightly inverted wall? I've noticed by kiddo will swing very far away from the wall when she lets go on an inverted section and I'm worried she'll get tangled around my belay rope.

Also in general, when belaying top rope should you stand closer to the wall or farther away? My kid only weighs 50 lbs but I want to make sure I'm developing good belay habits.

Some pretty amazing footage

Some cool shots but Alex H. comes off very poorly in this (and I'm sure all of the worst parts were edited out).
