Can't Post

I get to the gym right after it opens, at around 3. No one is there usually so thought I'd do some practicing for this coming season. Last time I just climbed up to a bolt abut 6 or 7 feet up and practiced clipping a sling, extending it and clipping the rope. I did it with both hands, with the bolt on my left and right hand side, over and over. Next time I want to practice; passing a knot on a rap, (I'll use a bolt that's real close to the ground as my rap anchor), hauling a second with a Z-pulley and escaping the belay. Does anyone else so these things at your gym? I've never seen anyone do it at mine. People must have been thinkin "what the F__K is he doing?????...
Any tidbits or advice?
