this will be my last attempt to reason w/ you...You may be the first person i'll actually place upon ignore.
1st off, if every climber you've come across wears a wife beater then you obviously haven't come across many,,,OH yeah! duh! your 16 , seriously, how many could you have really met.
2nd - don't blindly respond to abreviations if you don't know what they mean.. PPE has nothing to do w/ ascenders. I've also never found a hard hat, glasses, ear plugs to wear 20 lbs.
3rd - the trim job looks terrible for two reasons, you took them too tight, to 11 &1, and you left them looking nasty w/ those long boots, Don't you bother at least removing the old dead one which are around the bottom?
I personally would care less for your type to be on this site. I frequent the boards to learn, and conversate w/ others who consider themselves professionals. You obviously don't take your profession in serious manner.
