I love finding guys out here who wear their man... I mean lead... cards on their harnesses. I think I may start carrying my Skeletool around to cut those damn tags off. They're messy. :twisted: :twisted:

Uhhhh why can't I use that hold??

Why are there so many flying bodies???

There are two gyms within reasonable driving distance of my home. One requires the use of a grigri for belaying. The other forbids it. Go figure.

Go figure. I don't care if my partner uses one or not, as long as they are attentive and good. A shitty belayer is a shitty belayer no matter the device.

The gym in Santa Cruz used to prohibit grigri's. The two I've been to in Colorado Springs don't care either way (or I just ignored the rules and didn't know it!).

How do you not have your ego smashed to thousands of tiny pieces by the 16 yr old who started last year; just sent your project, (yup, the black and yellow route up the middle lead wall) , in his (her) flip flops as their warm up.

And Welle, obviously that midriff-baring tank top was designed by a guy....

Pacific Edge in Santa Cruz allows people to use grigri's.

At least they don't require you to use grigri's that are fixed on the ropes, like Planet Granite. The only time I've ever seen a belayer drop a climber involved a grigri.
