Actually, you're all wrong.
Hang the draws yourself or not. It doesn't fu<kin matter.
Why does something as simple as climbing rocks need to be beaten to death senseless pontification.
This thread is stoopid.

It's fun to beat threads to death. Get on the band wagon.
And I'm pissed off.
edit: THANKS MIKE!!

One of the coolest things about this thread is that everyone agrees that pre-hanging draws makes climbing easier. It's great when a community comes together in a unanimous way..

I don't see the draw, FlipFlop - I really didn't look that close.

I "placed" a rope once, mentioned on sandbagging thread.
I climbed out of sight of my partner where I found a thread nearly big enough to squeeze thru. Tied an extra loop in the rope, clipped it to the harness, undid the lead rope passing it thru the thread, tied back in, loosing the loop, and then climbed back to where my partner could see me to belay.
As he came up I hid, but at the right time I peeked around the corner to see him attempting to stick his head thru the hole.

A few days back I stepped on a pin on a route I've climbed many times with out resorting to such antics. Please don't hate me.

Sign of the times. Hell, retrobolted mixed routes with all pre-placed gear and pre-hung draws and relentless headpointing qualifies as a 'state-of-the-art' trad FFA around these parts and apparently even gives you the right to rename the route. Oh, and permanently leaving all that sh#t hanging all over a 'trad' route really adds some sorely needed color to the place.
I'm thinking pussypointing is the next order of the day.

Two or three definitions to this come to mind, but was what really constitutes a true pussypoint?

For years there I was more after getting the green point. How much can you smoke and still lead the route successfully. Many good memories for sure, and many I don't remember.......kinda fuzzy.....

Cribbed from the other thread...
Werner: It's the warrior class.
It's now infiltrated and run by the pussy class.
The pussy class is trying to imitate the warrior class.
Some routes have been done in a certain way for a reason of high caliber.
When the world has become soft the soft will come to alter these routes to their present soft consciousness.
And thus the world will continue to slide downhill into softness (pussyfide)
It's happening because the fools "think" there's only one life period.
They are clueless ....
But they'll want to make their own 'point'.

What if you hang a draw on the BY, would that invalidate an ascent?
I have this super long aider (like 30' long) that I use as a draw sometimes, and I attach biners to every other step. No prob, right?
Nah, I'm only kidding...

So, there's like 3 quick-draws-in-one of different lengths and meticulous sewing so you can clip the same bolt 3 times!
How cool is that!
