In need of help.

Taking a two day trip to the Red. I do not own quick draws, a greagory, or a worthy crash pad. I can't aford to buy two of these three pieces. I am in love with bouldering but I know there isn't much to pick from down there. What am I to do???

Forget the crash pad. You don't come to the Red to boulder.

If you're short on cash, screw the gri-gri. Get an ATC and be happy. If you must have an autolocker, get a Trango Cinch. It's around $20 cheaper and works great.

If I were you I'd get the draws and an ATC. In fact, Wes is selling 10 draws for $100:

Not too shabby.

BTW. When are you going?

SO NOW i know why you wouldn't climb with me this weekend... I thought you had a job or something...

What are you doing to contribute to society?

Thanks for the feedback!

I already have an ATC.
I'm probably going to be investing in some qd's and a Cinch.
I'll be heading down in late March.

How many quick draws will I NEED?

wtf does troll mean?

trolls are umm... people who artificially pose really dumb questions just to get people to respond, like their trolling (in the fishing sense) to get responces. screw the cinch, as long as you're not lazy you should be able to belay safely with an ATC no problem. Grigris and cinches are nice when the climbing is falling and hanging alot, just get on stuff you can do and avoid classic traps like Ro Shampo. 12 draws will let you do most everything you'll want, a couple more is nice though. now get off your little "chicks dig scars" arrogant b.s. and just go climb (trust me, i have scars and a bit of a limp and they haven't got me shit)
