I just ordered a soloist by wren industries. It will allow me to climb lead by myself (sport, trad, aid, TR, etc.). If I send a 5.12a, can I say I free soloed it? Technically I am free climbing, with one person (solo), so it is a free solo. Free solo has come to mean sans rope, but the term free solo only implies free climbing with 1 person. What should it be called if I send a route on self belay? It is definitely burlier than sending with a proper sport belay...

Call it whatever you want, brah. Nobody has to know the difference. I free soloed on my way to work this morning. First class the whole way...

Wow, I wish I had those kind of balls. I am not even up to leading that route yet, never mind free solo! I have lead a couple of the easier pitches, but I am still too scared to be on the sharp end for the stairs to my office (they're kind of steep, easily 2nd class).
