Dean may wear a light rig, but the chute is useless for the earlier part of the climb. If he'd fallen from the later stages he would still have had to get himself in a perfect position for the chute to be of any real use. Awesome, absolutely awesome.

On a side note, what's this about a scorecard? Climbing doesn't have a scorecard. WOW! Ok, Dean is and will always be my favorite climber.

On a side note, what’s this about a scorecard? Climbing doesn’t have a scorecard.

However, 9a does not feel that Potter's send was as revolutionary as the 9a airpad, nor the BMI regulation innovated by said website.
