fact or crap?
if i need to pull twice, i tend to pinch the rope between the wall and my knee and pull more. but i'm also climbing really easy sport (5.8 and under) and i haven't lead anything that's steep (yet). not sure how i'll handle clipping when that's not possible. maybe the gum w/o teeth idea. i suppose i'll figure out something whenever that time comes. my teeth have already cost me years of pain having braces - no sense going through reconstructive surgery too!

So let me get this straight-
Saxman says put as much in your mouth as you can, he doesn't like to bite down.
Josephine says she pinches if she needs to pull twice
Meadows pinches it between her lips (good idea!)
And Dmv has sand in her vagina.

Pretty good run-down, Huggy. In other news, if we added a velcro sheath to our ropes, and some strategically placed patches of velcro on our harnesses, we could just slap the rope against our hips in between pulls. It's similar to Didier's nifty little trick to help him place gear on Cobra Crack.

Saw some dude whip on one of the 9s @ Military from the anchors w/ the rope in his mouth. Stopped about 5 feet from the ground minus one tooth. His belayer saying I think I saw it fly behind you. Looked at his mouth and he definetely didn't have a tooth. I still grab it in my mouth though. They're only teeth you can get fake ones
