So Ho, not that I really want to know,but would that be considered thin protection, fist size, or offwidth? And can you clip it?

So you've never seen a guy lock off in a no-hands stance before to stretch out the pump? I thought all trad climbers did that. They think about a free set of BD tri-cams for a few seconds while facing a crack, and then they're able to let go with their hands and still maintain a three point rest stance. Or at least, that's what I've heard.

Would that be passive, or active protection?

I guess it depends on whether you're a top or a bottom.

Oh puuuhleeeeeeze, girlfriend.
Don't tell me you don't know about leather and lace.
I've heard that you like your toprope tight and your harness stretched.
You must know the difference between a top
[pauses and holds his hands down and in front]
and a bottom
[bends over and grabs his ankles]
[looks back and winks]

C'mon. don't play. Everybody's seen your leather harness...
