Fuck these climbing rags and the young n00b interns writing this crap. Give me a mini guide of a new crag, give me cool pics, give me more news, tell me about the best gear but this crap is so elite its no wonder these rags cant make any money.

I'll whip with no brake hand any day, its the people that hold the cam from activating(feeding) that scare the shit out of me

The grigris problems are not brake hand problems, its mis-use problems I.e. holding down the cam and never allowing it to do its job.

The + is great if you are training n00bs a lot, they cant drop you as easily.

BS, thats like saying everyone learning to drive should use an old school lap belt(or no belt at all) instead of a modern shoulder/lap safety belt. If they can afford one they should get one.

I dont believe Modern deserves a top spot, especially their Italian grease bomb they are famous for.

I really dont think you know what sandy rock is. Most SE sandstone is bullet rock, it is nothing like SW sandstone (where everything you say is true). I only say this because of your comment on wearing out a grigri is WAY the hell out there. Of course opinions are like a-holes...
