I have to give it up for kyslooth, The man has never even lead sport before. Never placed a cam or a nut. However this past sunday he somewhat successfully climbed the 5.3 trad at roadside (it was'nt pretty or graceful)!!! After an hour and a half on bolet i thought was going to have to go up and get him. He hit the crux (if you can call it that) and had no faith in his placements, with a little coersion and an offer of a poor mans champaign ( Miller High life) he completed the rout with well placed gear!!! I know you were scared shitless but you did it and Im proud of you!!! Your balls have finally dropped!! Next on the to do list.....Take a whipper!!!! a good 20 footer ought to break you in pretty good!!!
