I rarely climb outside and prefer to no-hand my grigri at the gym, but I'm looking for partners to climb established sport routes while placing as many cams as possible.

I believe this is a necessary skill on many modern sport routes, due to the sometimes UNBELIEVABLE runouts of 5'+ - you know, the ones where you can't reach the next bolt from below the last one you've clipped! The hangover routes are even scarier! omg! you know, the ones where the rock wall comes up over your face.

"Sprad" is how I learned to trad(I like the word better than "spray"). I would recommend it as the step #2 after placing gear on tr, to a new trad leader. Heck, still enjoy sprading now and then! I like the word better than "decking" or "pussyin ' out" even more than "frenchying".
All the trolls who make fun of sprad should think twice.

Tru dat! Those who get spooked or spanked don't know how to spRAD. Trivia question: what is another name for "break dance"?
Don't break that mojo: STRAD!
