Translation guide
The act of securing a climbing rope to protect a climber. In Japanese, this is expressed with specific climbing terminology, primarily using the loanword ビレイ (birei) or the verb 確保する (kakuhosuru).
To manage the rope to catch a climber in case of a fall.
The most common term for belaying in climbing contexts. It is a loanword from English and used as a noun or suru-verb.

Both ビレイ and 確保 are specific to climbing. In non-climbing contexts, 確保 means 'securing' or 'ensuring' something, not belaying.
