You should have asked is there anything I am doing CORRECTLY?!? You and your friend are likely to get F.U.K.T.U.P unless you get a book, practice building anchors, and possibly hire a guide.

Or you are trolling, and if that's the case, hat's off... good troll... probably reach 8 pages on this site!

If I were you I'd kick my own ass!

I also know Les from the climbing gym (I am the one who told him to buy the Cinch.(A.K.A. best belay device on the market)). Les it's sad to see you post online instead of asking for help on/at the crag. If you have any questions please feel free to get a hold of me and ask. But as for the previous comment an individual posted "yur gonna die" he is wrong, "yur both gonna die". On Oklahoma slab I would recommend NOT giving a soft catch. So he/she doesn't end up with huge scrapes and burns across one's body.

You do have 1 thing right. That route is definitely a "heady" 5.6 especially with only 2 or 3 bolts for a 70' ft route.

Who cares if he posts this? I say good for him in posting. He is going to get more opinions online....both good and bad.

Well if you leader falls it simply wont matter in any situation since you would prolly drop his ass seeing as your brake hand is an some sort of an awkward-wanting-to-grab-your-own-ass position.

Also, putting a hex in the hands of someone like you seems like a bad idea.....

All joking aside though, get some advice from someone in person who has experience, not a bunch of smartasses like us online.

Has to be a troll, just by the look on his face... if not

Clip the end of that daisy chain into the fucking locker. Then when u get home throw away the daisy unless you are aid climbing and get a PAS, or tie yourself into the other end of the rope and clove in with that like your suppose to. Then put your brake hand back on the rope and take in a bunch of that slack ya fuckin goon. who are all these people who don't value their lives...

edit: his partner is really new and he doesn't trust his safety. trollage

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
