i tend to be trad myself.....i don't even own any sport climbing stuff. I built my wall in such a way so i could work on my fingers and hands and balance in such a way as to mimic a short but nasty (for me, anyway) 5.10 route at Mt Rubidoux near Riverside. Those teensy little holds were my area of weakness, so i built my wall to work on that weakness. I would lead maybe 5.8 if i was feeling ballsy (stupid and overconfident really) but currently, i am out of shape and would not lead period. I haven't placed pro in a few years, only bouldering.
