LEADING
Try leading a few easy routes at first to get used to the feel of the Soloist.
Remember that if you are bothered by drag, you can easily eliminate it (figure
6). Take a few small falls on bombproof protection just for fun (falls can be
fun?).
While leading, you’ll want to be aware of where the rope is below you, so that
in a fall, it won’t get tangled around your legs, which would prevent the jaw
from locking. Also, with any solo belay method there will be two parts of the
rope hanging from you, the anchored side and the free side (plus the rope
hanging from the backup knot if it’s attached to you). Make sure you clip the
anchored side into your protection.
