Right before I found myself in this position, the conversation went something like this: <br>
<br>
My partner: "You're leading the first pitch."<br>
<br>
Me: "No, I think you should."<br>
<br>
Him: "No, I suck at roofs. You're leading it."<br>
<br>
Me: "I suck at roofs more. You've gotta lead it. You're way stronger than me."<br>
<br>
Him: "I'm only good at crack climbing. You'll cruise it. It's all you!" <br>
<br>
Me: "No dude, who told you that."<br>
<br>
Him: "You're leading it!! Just accept it!!!"<br>
<br>
Me: "..."<br>
