Aaron, read closely: French free is bad form. The one exception is if you are climbing with a French hottie.
yarding on gear, works very well. French Free might be faster than aiding a pitch, but A0 or yarding on gear are faster.
Jeepers, next thing we know you will be stopping mid pitch to bolt that crack. Did you perm your hair while you were out French Freeing those pitches, buy some foie gras, wear pink lycra? No wonder you cannot find climbing partners. Get a grip dude.
Think Hardman, Captian Granite, Batman, and Sweat in your eyes.
