im bascially lazy. so i see little point in clipping and unclipping gear more than i have to. thats why while i clean gear i put it on my harness the way i prefer it for leading (you know. separate quickdraws. put nuts on one biner. blah blah blah). i get to the belay where my partner hands me the rack and im pretty much ready to go. and i hate getting dangling gear snags. once had a fuckin epic mid-mantle clusterfuck on lead. fuck that shit.
