That traverse left seems like it was probably spooky
Which route is it?

Dragons of Eden on dragontail. It’s not as bad as it looks. There is a piece kind of hidden out of frame which makes it look headier than it probably was!

Nice work. How was approach?

Approach is pretty easy especially considering other climbs in the enchantment range

I never use ring locks because I don’t want to lose a finger if I fall.

That's not how ring locks work.

How do they work?

Ring locks are when you form a ~ring shape with your thumb and pointer/middle finger, and then use that to jam a crack. It's used on ~0.75-sized cracks (green BD) that are too big for rattly fingers and too tight for thin hands.
No one's trying to get degloved here :)

That's what I thought. Getting a solid ring lock and then my feet popping sounds scary.

If you can figure out how to make a ring lock feel solid shoot me a message.

Set it above a narrowing of the crack, same as a stopper. I get the feeling we’re not talking about the same thing

I think you are thinking of a finger jam. Every time I've done a ring lock, it was not secure enough to stay in if my feet slipped.
