Did my first 1-4-7 yesterday, and I'm well stoked! That was with my left hand pulling (L on 4). Can't come close with my right (1-4-6 max).

Considering I'm right handed, I always find it strange that my left is better at this stuff (pulling and locking off). In every other way, my R side would be stronger. I'm wondering if it's because as a right hander, you generally clip rope with your most dexterous hand (right) and therefore your left hand is usually holding a lock. This is even more so when you're trad climbing because you're fiddling around with gear while locked off on your left. So the left gets good at pulling and locking.

Has anyone else noticed this?
