True, heavyc, but what are your feelings about this scenario:
I was on a route years ago, where the crux of the route was clipping the 3rd bolt. I worked it on TR and got it wired, and on the redpoint, i skipped the bolt. Still a send?
We're talking about practice man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about practice. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about practice right now.

Bradley Boyeeee I like your urban edge, but that is the point to all of this. The poll was to find out if TR is practice or not.
- I like pigsteaks comment. That is my perspective.
- Also, someone has to lead at some point. R U a follower, R U content to always follow? If U R, that is fine.
