Placement Question

Looks pretty bomber to me. I'd be more worried about it getting in the way.

Maybe it's one of those pieces that you keep shoving up higher as you get closer to it.

I think Pete is touching on an important point here. I'm not willing to make the blanket statement that it is bomber if the face of the cams are in full contact.

really? I figure IF:
The cams lobes are in full contact with the rock, and
the lobes are neither over or under cammed, and
the rock quality is good, and
the piece wont fall out when jiggled,

Its good.

If any of you guys see J.J. then be sure to ask him about the time he shat on a rattlesnake. It is hilarious! He tells the story much better than I could.

hummm, the fronts are good in this position mainly because they will help hold in the back cams which, in this placement, will likley hold the vast majority of the fall, still this is where I wold be wishing CCH made a really freaking big offset alien

You're all still forgetting the fact that JJ doesn't fall. I think he can just let go of the rock and hover. He just brings gear becuause its shiney.

J.J.'s gear is definitely not shiny. Antique (or homemade) might be a better word.
