Ice climbing sans "dragonnes"

Two days ago at Johnstone canyon I came to the realization that I no longer like my leashes. I am not really trying to say either way which is better, only to ponder the thought that after the last few years going back and forth I have decided that I really do prefer climbing without the "dragonnes". What does this mean? Well, it doesnt bother me if takes me three times as long to climb riptide or ice porn. With the leash, I am bound to the tool like atlas and the world craving the freedom of Zorba the greek, who may dance around un-hindered with a large smile...
