Top 10 Classic Trad Lines 5.10a and Under

[tania]

Looks like I may be out of sport climbing commission for a while. Was thinking I could try some trad climbing in hopes there won't be a lot of crimps or pockets I'll be pulling on. I'd love to hear your recommendations!!!

Here's another question....it's been a while since we have bought any trad gear. Aside from BD C4s, Metolius TCUs, some WC Tech Friends, and Fixe Aliens, what's the gear to have???

Totem cams are arguably the most useful cams (besides camalots) ever. Get them- you will love them. Ball nuts also seem pretty legit.
