leading confidently on trad 1-Feb-2012 At 8:57:06 PM Zarb

If you learn to climb in a more static method, and try to make every move reversible, it does a lot for your confidence on trad lead.
If you can move up, and lock off in a comfortable position to skope out the moves and holds, it is much better than making a dynamic move, realising the holds are crap, or finding out its a chossy friable hold.

Just go around and place a shite load of gear. Not even on climbs, just grab the rack and walk around the base of the cliff with someone who knows the inns and outs of gear. Place as much as you can, sling it, and bounce test it. See how the gear moves under weight, etc etc.
