There were some interesting things, but in the end it seemed to just degrade into a metoulious advert.
Most of what he said was common sense, and seemed to just be a set up for "metoulious cams.. bla bla bla." I mean if your leading trad and it comes as a shock to learn that cracks full of ice, mud and scum can affect placements then its time to go back to ground school.

Nothing is perfect, get the best gear in you can and try not to #@#$%-up
hope everyone has had a chance to get out in during the 3 dry days this year.
:wink: :D
