Maybe thats because it doesn't matter in the slightest whether he's even wearing leg loops or not.
I don't often give advice, opinions, beta, or anything more than encouragement unless asked. Of course, sometimes I ask if they want beta when they're butchering an otherwise beautiful piece of climbing.
