Are you leaning back on a runner?!

Yep he is!
And it's totally bombproof apparently!

I must have done it countless times and never placed a runner there. There's been so much debate over this 'placement' it's interesting to see someone actually resting on it, would it take a fall though? ;-)

I placed a HB no. 3.8 quadcam in that pocket. Looked ok-ish to me but I wasn't gonna hang around on it just in case. I remember thinking the placemement may not suit other cams though.

Resting on routes with sparse runners is perhaps a bigger call than he realises. I'd solo it till the end of time before I did that on that route, as you can stand in balance anyway!

lol yeah he was just testing his placement!
we give it HS 4b...if you own the right size ball-nut!!

Did this again today, and looked at that 'gear' placement. He's lucky he isn't eating through a straw.

no he isn't, I proper wrenched at it before I rested on it an it took like 10 mins to get out its a number 2 ball nut (or slider what ever you want to call it) and it goes in to the little slot at the back really well.
