>>513130Not either of them, but
>>512913 brought nothing to the conversation that
>>512249 >>512966 didn't say. so technical debate isn't exactly what I'd call it. Either way, they're both right, usually user error is the number 1 cause of incidents outside of the uncontrollable (rock fall and such).
It all comes down to how a climber feels best to mitigate the other issues such as gear. As far as rope goes, I'd rather pay a bit more for a reputable rope, however, if it's been UIAA tested/rated, it's a safe bet it'll work.
>Pic unrelated, my next climb when this freak snowfall melts off. Not me in the photo.
