Ronadon wrote: I'm curious at what point people learned to lead. I'm climbing right around 5.9 right now at the gym and most of the lead routes start around 5.10. I definitely don't feel ready to lead yet but I would like to hear other peoples experiences as to when they started. The gym near me teaches classes on it so I will probably try and learn there when the time comes. We have a really a nice place to climb outdoor here and it's bolted so it would be good to learn on eventually. You can TR it also so again no real push to learn leading right now but it is something that looks to be a lot of fun. When did you guys start?
ASAP
While the bulk of the bolts are on the steeper walls and most of the routes on those walls are .10 and up, there are plenty of .7-.9 mixed in. Take the leap, it'll be worth it. I promise.
edited to add: I learned to lead a manchester and I think it's probably a better venue than the gym for that purpose. Just keep it simple and safe and you'll never look back.
