Pro tip: I stopped using a full wrap on all my climbing lines after a talk with a guy from the Portland climbing comp.

He said my constant full wraps on the main line for every limb walk were adding too much friction and heat, especially on long removals. I tried switching to a half wrap for simple lateral moves on a big maple job last month, and it was way smoother. Anyone else find they were overdoing a basic technique?

Just saw the finals problem sheet, they're setting a V12 in the qualifiers. For a local comp.

That's just cruel for a local event.
