<p>Placing all gear on lead:</p> <blockquote> <p>My big ambition was to make the first ascent placing all the gear on lead. <a href="/climber/154/john-dunne" rel="noopener noreferrer">John</a>'s ascent used a peg and a couple of pre-placed wires and <a href="/climber/548/dave-birkett" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dave Birkett</a>'s second ascent last summer appeared (judging by the photos in the mags) to have several pieces in place at the crux. This was because the climbing is really steep and physical and it's difficult to stop in the middle of hard moves and fiddle in wires. The route had lots of wires in place in various states of decay. For me though, placing gear on lead is part of trad climbing, headpoint or not. The headpoint style is nothing more than a rehearsal for a ‘real’ lead. For me, if the gear is pre-placed then it might as well be bolted.
