 Topic - Backing off routes?
|
|---|
 by - Bertbee  on - 20 Jun 2012 |
I've realized a 'block' in me pushing myself out of my trad-leading comfort zone is my uncertainty in backing off and cleaning routes if I bail on them. As a result, I'm not attempting any routes unless I'm certain that both myself AND my seconder are going to complete them.
This is a big problem if I'm climbing with a partner who is quite inexperienced. Perhaps I'll only go up a VDiff, so that I'm certain my partner can second it, usually resulting in an underwhelming experience for both myself and the seconder, who doesn't get an opportunity to push themselves.
So - In the scenario that I bail halfway through a route, or my seconder can't finish, what are my options? Is it simply that I've got to abseil down to clean the route? |
