>" Here we go again. I think everyone should look down when they get to the 3rd bolt, just to check they're still on belay. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

>Either we're doing the thing where nobody takes their climber off belay until told to do so by the climber, or it's the fuching wild west and you could be off belay without notice at any time.

>Also, why the hell are people rapping off a 20m sport cliff with loweroffs at the top? And do people at K.P. regularly play 'lowering-or-rapping bingo' at night with 2000W, upward facing lights making it impossible to see their belayer? "

Weighting the rope not only tests that you are on belay but tests your complete system and ensures that you haven't done something silly like not tying back in.

Again, a couple of seconds to save your life, with do downside whatsoever.
Only a fool would criticise this.
