Best passive pro for the red?

get a full set of hexes, i will bet you i could lead 30- 40% of the trad routes 10a or less with just a set of hexes. (yes, some of those routes might get a little on the run out side). however, i do prefer nuts to the smallest sizes of hex. say number 5 or less.

well I started buying my junk today. I bought a set of micro nut and a set wild country rocks and a new nut tool, and as soon as I get my jeeps running right im going to get a couple of mixed sets of hexs and a set of nuts.

I thought about leaving my slung nalgene in a crack and clipped into the rope for my partner to clean on one trip, but I think it would have caused him to suffer a psychotic break.

A note on the pink and brown tri-cams, I have seen cracks along the rail by the pin attachment. These need to be routinely inspected. I would almost bet $1 that someone out there owns a small tri-cam that has a crack and doesn't know it.

Just a note to anyone lurking and who hasn't caught on to the previous posts: the pink Tri-cam is essential almost everywhere. Don't leave the ground without one (or several). I can't explain why, but you will find a placement on just about every pitch you lead from Yosemite to the Gunks.
