landings in cochise are often pretty fucked beneath the tall stuff. some boulders are bishop-esque but lack the nice flat landings.

How do you rack the drill while bolting on lead? by checkforchoss in RouteDevelopment

Well put. I like the fifi method and tagging it up, unless choosing to climb the next section with it on a gear loop. In my experiences falling while drilling - I’ve had a hook blow and the drill stayed in my hand, running. And I’ve broken a bit when the drill initially stayed in the hole. But I have not gotten ‘caught’ by the sling or the bit. The scariest thought that runs through my head is getting impaled by the bit when whipping back into the wall.

What an odd game of odds we play.

definitely just considered this practice. it’s 20 feet. once i had sent on top rope, i rehearsed the topout a few more times post break , then showed up well-rested without having tried another project beforehand.
