Off_White Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Doesn't really mean what it used to anymore, does it? I thought this was pretty entertaining. I'd have liked to see him fiddle some tricams into some of those pockets, but I suppose it is a wee bit steep for that kind of shenanigans...

kevbone Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 How come most people do not wear helmets when sport climbing? But do when trad climbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_warfield Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 How come most people do not wear helmets when sport climbing? But do when trad climbing? Overhanging rock is much safer for a 5.13 climber than slabby loose 5.6 for average climbers with or without a helmet. Bolts or trad, most accidents don't happen with climbers like Arnaud. What comes to mind for me was Earl Wiggins doing Supercrack at Indian with hexes. It looks to me like Arnaud had pretty good placements (the thread was suspect) with cams but a splitter in the early days was pretty dicey.
