Never - I aim for maximum re-sale price.

Once or twice over my entire climbing career.

I rest on gear occasionally but have never fallen.

Rarely, however I have taken a fall onto trad gear

51%

Once every couple of climbing trips.

27%

Every climbing trip.

Almost every climb.

I love whipping onto RPs &zero cams on every climb

If it was my comment you were refering to I meant that the cams were too far open (perhaps thats undercammed i dunno). Thats is the cams have little more expansion range and thus could invert (except for the fact that cams have cam-stops).
