Here is a quote in the original post:
I figure that, as long as it's attached to where my foot ought to be, no one (at least no one who has 2 good feet) can call me a cheater. Hell, Hugh Herr jacked himself up 6" to lead a .13 in the Gunks that still hasn't been repeated. Did he cheat? You bet, but no one I know would call him a cheater. -Maldaly
Man, 6"! If I had that much more of a reach, I would be able to enjoy climbing Malvin as a 5.11a. But of course, I wouldn't want to lose a foot in order to get that 6" though.
