In defence of our protagonist, Sean's predominantly a boulderer and spends a lot less time on rope, i.e. he has limited climbing endurance, and has little faith in gear so only likes absolutely bomb proof placements.

Sean's a good guy, I'd climb with him if I could make up a good excuse to get out of my other appointments.

PS I think I did my first V4 boulder problem when my highest sport lead was 21 and highest trad lead 17, but then I'm a gym noob too.
