I disagree with this. Some of the lead belaying at SP is really pretty dangers. If most
lead climbers actually took lead fall instead of yelling "take" as soon as they got
pumped I think you would see a lot more people decking. Monitoring peoples lead belaying and calling them up when they are doing it dangerous would greatly reduce the
risk of an accident happening in the future.
The other day I saw a climbing pass the lead climbing test, and I know for a fact they
had having never done any leading in their life, afterwards I saw him repeatedly talking
his break hand of the rope to feed out slack. This is a big accident waiting to happen
which more monitoring would help stop.
just my 2 cents worth.
