This is my first response to one of your posts, and it might be a little biased because I have already decided that I don't really like you.[Edit to add: okay, I have seen 1, but only 1, post of yours that I thought wat 'aight.]
Are you serious? You don't think that the switchover to nylon kernmantle ropes, the invention of nuts and cams or the use of modern belay devices reduces the seriousness of a trad fall?
Look, I'll give you the "no-fall" rule for MOST alpine routes, but you must be some bumbling 5.6 wallower who has never seen a clean fall if you think that "the leader must not fall" still holds for trad. Either that or you can't place gear for shit.
People take whippers all the time. I would be surprised if there wasn't someone who pushed the boat wayyy the fuck out 15 feet over a cam and whipped each day*.
*Two notes:
When I saty pushed the boat out, I am talking about the difficulty of the route. I am not implying that only a crazy muthafucka would run it out 15 feet.
I mean a person a day, I am not implying that there is some Bob "whipper" Thompson who hucks off at least once a day.
