returned project draws

did I miss something here, are there rules for leaving draws on routes?

Apparently so. From what I have gathered, you can't leave draws on anything less than 12c at high traffic crags or you are considered a gumby and your draws will be confiscated or moved. (the reason I say 12c is because there are draws on Wild Gift that have been there for quite some time and have NEVER been messed with). It's news to me too.

btw, what is a "new set of draws"????? I still climb on biners and slings that are 7-8 years old...do you sport climbers trade them in every year for the latest model and the coolest colors? I didn't know buying a "set" was now protocol...just thought you retired biners as they wore out.....I got lots to learn....

The upper pitch of Way Up Yonder completely freakin' rocks. Solid rock and nice big moves. Very cool final clipping holds too.

i thought that clipping the anchors was the crux.
that hold seemd to be real good to me, 2 pad jug.
the pump was the crux or maybe the 5 or 6 clip. i don't know though.
