Thanks for that Dave. Add techno background music, singlets, clif bars and triple the weight of the bowls and you've got indoor top roping. Only kidding. Each to their own, but I really feel like leading is the very soul of rock climbing, and in the fairly soulless, by comparison, environment of a "good" indoor wall every effort should be made to hang on to whatever elements we can. More leading. Less of whatever fear and regulation inhibits this.
