its all about the onsight for me and trad! it just feels so much better, racking up to a climb that you dont know much about. i am not a fan of pre-placed gear and bolts, although i have been known to climb bolts and enjoy it, but mostly is ground up gear on lead.
as for training, bouldering and just more time on rock is all i do, i dont really train, doesnt really appeal. and if you fall, you fall. hell shit happens. i just try to avoid falling, messes with my head to much
all i want to do is climb. |
