Tricams work well in the gorge. Get some slings of different lengths along with the "clippy clips". As ReachHigh stated, try placing gear to see what you like. Time is short between now and Christmas, so get out and climb! Bottom line is get what you feel comfortable with.

Diggler, you must be kidding. There are many cams that fit into very specific placements. But to say that BD cams are a scam, I come to only one conclusion: You must be a sport climber!

i'm saying that you can get cams a lot cheaper than those Chinese made, OVER PRICED,double axle pcs of crap!!!!
Why would you support a company that moves production to China to save money, but increases there prices to the consumer?

Read this review on climbing.com, it's a few years old but still relevant

If you are asking for a gift no doubt ask for the C4s.

If it's your own money I'd go with the Trango Flex Cams which are now sold as Rock Empire Durango Cams (rockempire.com). I have a set (except for the largest, read the review). Many of my friends have used my set and like them a lot.
