+1 about the ballnutz.

cams are cams. Before maxing out your credit card consider going onto mountain project and picking up some used gear. Almost everything on my rack was slightly used when I bought it. Doesn't take an engineering to determine whether it's still safe.

Benefit of this strategy is you can try different stuff without worrying about depreciation. tcu's aliens and c4's have a pretty set resale price so if you buy something and don't like it just resell for a couple bucks less.

of course no one ever want's to use my gear

Cruise Control is one of my favorite 5.9+ routes. Not sure why it doesn't get a lot of traffic.

The Underling
Diamond in the Crack
Good Times
Into the Purple Valley
Whiteout

I felt like Good Times was a bit overrated. Good line, but not top 10
