This is very curious. I take a complete different view than most when it comes to climbing. I have explored different knots, after having been dissatisfied with the fig 8. I am very satisfied with the bowline follow-through. I use the ATC and the grigri to belay (not at the same time
) as many of you guys do. I like the clickup and I add this to my list of equipment.
I recently described my perspective to friends at the crag. In response, one of my friends described this perspective as high-risk. He obviously favors doing the same thing all the time. However, at some point such a perspective may bite because such a perspective dulls critical thinking and the ability to respond to new situations. I think if you make it idiot-proof you just build a bigger idiot.
Climbing gyms in general build bigger idiots because they don't encourage personal development. They are more concerned with minimizing liability. Then the vacant-eyed products of this minimized liability swarm the cliffs and die.
