"When it comes down to the wire" that "go to piece" has about a snowballs chance in hell of doing anything but wasting your time. That being said, I vote for the #6 camalot which I don't have but wish I did.

I was really expecting something about a crash pad, unless they double as that?

Of course you want to place what fits best, but damn near every trad climber I've ever known had pieces of gear he/she was partial to, even if they didn't end up placing them on every route they got on. Thin crack climbers seem to either prefer aliens or TCUs, and some offwidth climbers I've known LOVE bigbros while others won't touch them with a ten foot pole. I was just trying to get a feel for what individual climbers in here went for.

And as far as retarded threads go, I assure you that this if FAR from the bottom of the list on this bbs...
