Clinker. I can do any of the routes that I am developing ground up.I have nothing to prove in that regard. I choose to do most of them top down simply because I can do a better job and leave a better climb for those who come after me.

I can't argue with the better job part and Bhilden makes sense as usual with his take. I climb in a choss adventure area, with a ground up or pick a burial spot ethic. The quality of the rock demands it.
