Gear Lead with Critique
I lead the route and partner Jimmy seconded to critique my placements. I thought I had it zipped up, but there were holes in both the pro and my thought processes.
My cams were good, as were my slung horns. We differed a bit on what constitutes a well slung horn, but not enough drop him. Now we get to the interesting part. I found an extrusion with a nice hole in it. I thought, "This will wow Jimmy." Then I pulled curve hex and dropped the eye into the hole. I clipped a draw through the eye and confirmed that the nut was sufficiently large to hold. I did not look for any other protection at that point, so I topped out.
Over an excellent Eggplant Parmagian in Rome that evening, we haggled over the last placement. Jimmy doesn't trust small extrusions in sandstone, and now I don't either. Better than that, as we argued the point I realized with [literate vocabulary]blinding clarity[/literate vocabulary] that I had been looking for a placement whenever I decided to protect a route. Sounds logical, but I should be looking for placementS when I decide to protect a route.
It was a stunning realization, and I hope one that indicates a growing maturity on my part. Thanks, Jimmy.
