beware G15. how fast is that 100 lbs of force applied? it takes only 3lbs to push the pad.

Limit the time you have to be up on the rope, and ensure that all your points are counted.
i can imagine some team building a slow climber (20 secondish) that shots all during the climb. Agree that you should opt for climbing faster and shooting before climbing, but technically legal
