No safety in not wearing a helmet.....

Nice. Up here that's called "Plaidman Style". LOL As an adjective for carrying shitloads of too much gear people just say "Plaidmaning"....As in, "they were Plaidmaning the SE Corner today."

That was my reaction, too, as I sat in my office on a perfect day.

As a noob I placed gear similar to this. I once led the groove at LL and had to lower to back clean gear from a double rack. I was at about 80' tho.... Ha!

Ha!. Reminds me of my second trad lead... White Lightning.. I was so nervous I placed 28 pieces of gear on a single pitch LOL. By the time I got to the top I had only a small handful of nuts, which fortunately were the right size to build the anchor.
