In reply to ablackett:
Rock climbing has different styles of ascent (onsight, flash, dogged, toproped, lead etc) each with their own set of rules. As I'm new to Drytooling I'm trying to workout what is the norm is in terms of what's 'allowed'. Just because you don't care doesn't mean nobody does.The original post was an honest question, I had hoped there would be a simple answer!
