So I ordered some gear...

Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

Speaking of RR nuts, you can (theoretically) also protect routes with properly knotted slings jammed into the cracks. It's the standard pro in an area in south-eastern Germany. Not my idea of fun, but to each his own.

I take my nuts up every climb I get on except sometimes they mysteriously disappear, can someone explain this mystery to me?

Central Scrutinizer at Pebble has got to be the coolest face route that you practically place all nuts on. There are essentially two bolts from what I can remember, and some alien placements down low, but then it's all nuts to the top.

Central Scrutinizer is such a cool climb. :)

Hmmm.... American Crack is "easy", but I usually get the feeling that I'm doing some V0+ bouldering during the first 15' or so. Plus, I seem to remember using a #2 or 3 camalot somewhere near the start (could be remembering wrong, though)
