What happens when you climb out of sight of your belayer.. so you assume you're soloing at that point??
I don't know how you interpreted anything I said to suggest this.

Lol... i have some routes in mind i'd love to see you try to rap clean haha.. would be awesome to point and laugh. then send a 12 year old up to do it the right way.
I'm sure I could manage it. Though I might just choose to lower. I haven't said that I never lower, but I certainly don't do it often.

i climb plenty of trad which is why i think your assumption that sport climbers don't know what they are doing is hilarious.
I have not made this assumption.

I once watched a trad climber get stuck to a quick clip anchor ....
Nice story, relevance?

how do you know that the guy in the OP didn't ALWAYS rap down and decided for once that he'd lower... but if he sprayed all day long about always rapping then if he didn't communicate that and bad things happen.
I don't know this. But again what does it matter? Its clear this accident occurred from poor communication followed by poor practice by the climber.
