Nice lesson grandpa. But tell me, what is the difference between climbing sport and climbing 'trad' when all the gear is bomber and pre-placed? huh? would you call the bolted crack climbs in skaha trad? of course not. what is the difference then?
According to Pope and Dwayner, it's trad if it doesn't hurt the rock. This guy is falling onto nuts and cams, it doesn't hurt the rock, it's trad. Comprende, Cheif?
I am not pope or dwayner ya festering hemmerhoid... trad is when you stick the metal in the crack, attach the rope and keep climbing. it is easier to pink-point trad than redpoint sport... fact.
