I considered the possibility but I figured I err on the side of being helpful.

I probably did stick my fingers in the trap though.Mad

Trolls are the best part of this website. If we let them die, the what is left?

laughing my ass off

I have six... I don't think it's possible to buy only 3 unless you get them separate which would be stupid. Anyways, I was trying to figure out a way to climb a 7 or 8 bolt route with only the 6 I have.
I refuse to believe that this is real.

Do you have to buy trad gear in sets also?
What if the route is longer than the set you buy?

You start jamming locking biners directly into the crack. It's best to use screw gates since the metal lock can act a bit like a stopper. Also, make sure to clip the rope through the biner before you place it; it's going to be hard to do after.

I've heard some people say that you can use two non-lockers in place of one locking biner. Would that make the rope easier to clip?

Maybe, but I don't know if you can buy them in sets of two.

Damn, climbing is complicated stuff.

hold on to biner, untie with other hand, thread rope through biner, tie in with the other hand. repeat at next plaxement if necessary
