"Soloing at a popular crag without your own rescue team is therefore unfair to other climbers at the crag."
And how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive? --Homer Simpson

safety is key.....if its not your focus; you're stupid and going to die 
always doing knot/harness/anchor checks is cool...i always do it....no matter your or your partner's experience level, NEVER NEVER NEVER be shy when it comes to questioning technique or safety
another thing to practice often is self-rescue....a belayer becomes useless if something happens to the leader...ya don't multi-pitch with a belayer who can't lead and solo-belay, if the route is wired its ok, but there's always the unknown factor....even on something like the Apron, i've seen dumpster sized blocks go tumbling down it

Nothing like the sound of thumpin' a piton first thing in the morning...
