Rule One I do respect Onsight. The second best is YOYO style.
Since I am a short climber, usually I have a hard time reaching to a running bolts, so I prefer to climb down when I don't feel safe enough and confident to put rope above me, instead of trying on a random chance of clipping on a rope with unsteady foot holds.
Rule TWO Have your own Home ground
Rule Three Climbing God lives in details
I do like to climb with complete beauty of rope work. The cam popping off, or rope got stuck, or such, are minus point to me... I like a confident, beautiful climb that I can feel total freedom on a rock, or ice.
I don't consider this a success.
The below is my ice lead, and the photo is taken to examine how well or bad, I did. I felt very a deep content after seeing this, my lead result.
I prefer to clean up my own pro, since I can check my lead result,for my better learning so far. I consider myself still learning.
Rule Five I don't worship climbing caste
Japanese climber likes ranks. so they can boss around. I don't like the culture.
Rule Six Take care of each other
It is already dangerous so taking care of each other is important.
Rule seven Take a proper educated action
Japanese crag is mostly 40 years old, and bolts are as old, and not just that , sometimes it is runout very much... it depends on a climber who developed.
Avoiding such developer is a wise choice.
Rule Eight Mutual respect
I belay you so you belay me.
