That is a bit harsh to use the term "LOSER" to describe beginers who are learning.
Gyms won't let you lead untill you are competent, how do you gain this competence without practising? top rope backup. You could learn through experiential learning, but then there would probably be a lot more people who hit the deck from back clipping. When I teach people to lead I always start them with with a top rope back up to begin with. It alows them to focus on the actual clipping with out the risk / fear of taking a fall. I have seen a lot of beginers stick their fingers through the gate of the karabiner while clipping a quick draw, getting a finger stuck in the gate of a quickdraw would be a lot worse when not on a top rope. |
