This is not true to the same degree in tech diving. ------ Claus, I think Jammer presented his point extremely well. Why are there different methods of learning ? When you are new, it is better to listen to the people who know what's going on first. I know I have, and I learned a lot. I still ask questions at times, mainly because I don't fully understand certain things. A little bit of knowledge is more dangerous than having no knowledge at all. Rock climbing is even more strict than tech diving as there is even less room for errors. A back clip is a back clip, and certainly you don't want to experiment thru trial-and-error when it's time to place a pro on a multi-pitch climb. Rock climbing is different than tech diving. Anyone could buy some diving equipment and go kill himself. To climb, you must achieve a certain level before you could really hurt yourself. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
