A better way to protest would be to leave a single draw behind on every route you climb, until people get so fed up, they stop taking them.
Oh, and make them nice, new extra-light draws - like Heliums - the protest would get more attention...

Absolutely. The protest is worthless unless its a cold-forged, keylock, Dyneema-style demonstration of your stoicism.
Hell no! We won't go!

There is a lot of sound responses in this forum... not so much from the OP. I always wonder why someone would bail out on a full draw ... scary fall? did they get hurt?
Who here ever felt the need to bail on a full draw before and why?

And, maybe give us all a heads-up when you're climbing again, so we can, er, show up to cheer you on - like "Hey guys, I'm heading back out to the Quarry again this Saturday with my new rack of Helium draws - should be done around 2pm"
(the Quarry sees its biggest crowd since Sports Illustrated shot its "strongest women rockclimbers of SoCal" swimsuit issue there)
Actually, that's a great idea - we should pitch this to SI. Yeah - just so everyone knows, this was my idea.
Ok, so there is a good chance this has all been a troll - but what the heck - its a fun ride.

Maybe they had clipped the draw, couldn't make the move, and couldn't figure out how to change over the draw for a biner.
Or, they just don't realize the way the system actually works, and are going by rote.

A self-important, pseudo-hip name.
