You didn't tell him I've been climbing in the Red did you? He's been out to get me for a long time.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. We mostly climb at the gorge.

I think Black Diamonds hold up to heavy use better than the others. For the small cams use either Metoliuos or aliens.

ALIENS ARE THE BOMB. RIGHT AFTER YOU BUY BD .75-3 BUY ALL THE ALIENS YOU CAN FIND. OFFSETS ROCK!

Don't buy Cassin Cams

I like Metolius 3 cam units for at the red. I have those and Camalots for the most part. The small aliens are real sweet for horizontal placements.

If you want to get away on the cheap the Flex Cams look pretty nice. Anybody have a full set? I have a couple to fill in the gaps in the #2, #3 Camalots but haven't heard much about the other sizes.

www.northernmountain.com has some great deals once in awhile.

TCUs are good stuff, but check out the "micro robots" from Rock empire.

they are the three smallest ones. Rock empire totally ripped off Metolius's TCU, but they only cost like $25 a piece. And they are the exact same cam, own both, but now I would just buy the micro robots, the extendable sling is a nice feture.

stear clear of the larger sizes the standard "robot" cams

, but the micros are good cronic. Think the got an Editors Choice from Climbing too.
