In reply to: What I was trying to say, an aid climber usually weighs his daisy chains, instead of using them as a protection in case of fall as a sport climber uses quickdraws (the quickdraws are not weighted until the fall happens and when that happens the forces can be quite large)-- So if you are cleaning anchor and wiegh the daisies right from the start, instead of using them as a back-up to catch your fall, then they are plenty strong and safe to use, right?
That’s what I thought. As long as you don't go taking the weight off the anchor to make that big reach for a piece of pro, you SHOULD be ok. I guess I could see people getting lazy and not readjusting as needed to make the reach, thinking "they're not gonna fall". So I guess it's just a redundancy issue.
