Kneepads are for big wall aid routes on ascenders hauling a pig. Instead of taping up your knees at the Red, how about dumping your Prana's and get a sturdy pair of double thick canvas Chouinard 80's trad pants. They can survive anything and will always remain stylish.

If we're going to debate about a little bit of rubber, I'd like to put in a word for short girls-- lots of stuff is harder for us, but we don't get to upgrade.
In other words, if it's within your own personal ethics, then do it. If not, don't do it. Let's not try and determine what is and is not allowed within this giant sport we call rock climbing.
I'm pretty against having someone tell me what a route is like and then logging it as an onsite, but that S*** happens all the time. Are kneepads really that big a deal?

how do we log it as an onsight on here? I want that feature.

One attempt. Flash and onsight isn't broken out (see multiple lengthy 10 page previous discussions which turn hijacked to Horatio Felacio's nuts on this)

that's what I am talking about SCIN. you give us no glory for the onsight versus the flash. so her disgust is moot.

Odub has kneepads, but I don't think he uses them for climbing........
