in the days when "the leader never falls" 17 was a big deal.
that was an issue of equipment.
the whole game has gotten so much safer with nylon rope, sticky rubbr, nuts, hexes, cams...
so those who maintain that trad is the only real climbing, don't forget that real climbing used to be, for all intents and purposes, soloing, (in hiking boots or volleys).
