almost like climbing leashless

By James Stewart Ranked #188 - Ice Climbing February 4, 2008

i started climbing waterfalls leashless - much better for matching and techy moves on hard ice and mixed routes. however, when i started doing alpine routes, a dropped tool became a serious risk. i hated the idea of having long strips of webbing tied around my wrist when i climbed, but these short, easily-removed androids are barely noticeably and can hardly be called an obstruction. its like climbing leashless with the security of leashes. another well-designed system by BD.
