jr is right..for once. stick clipping is usually for us wimps who are too chicken to do a move on lead, so we resort to a stick clip..or we are too cheap to leave a bail biner because SOMEONE stole all the others we left....
it is all JR's fault.

do whatever you want, don't get hurt and don't screw up access for others.
I would just add, if someone else is going to quickly climb a route that you are taking a lot of time on, perhaps let them go first.

Ethics, you have to agree with Merrick. Whatever makes YOU happy. But never deny or lie about what you did ! Climb-Safe.

If you take away anything from this thread, take away this statement.
However, we all know that my statement excludes Pigsteak.

You lost me, Rhunt. But then again, that's not very hard to do.

Sloopy, I guess I was just trying to make a point about what some think is "bad/good style". Just like back in the day, hang doggin was considered bad style and now some strange people think stick clippin up a route to figure out moves is bad style. Evolution is bitch but if you just let it happen it hurts a little less.
