If I were leading a sketchy crack, I'd have no problem putting in "aid" pro when the only other choice is no pro. I'm so light anyway, I doubt I could break the stem under normal use (unless, of course, I fell).

Hell yea. At least it might slow you down before you crash into the ledge.

I just bought the Green and Grey ones this weekend at Seneca. The purple one is the smallest, the green and grey being the next sizes up. I hope I'll never fall one these things, but if they could at least hold body weight sometimes, then they will have served their purpose. Like Johnny said, some pro is better than none at all!

the thing that bothers me about the smallest sizes, is the lack of surface in contact with the rock. sandstone can often give up a fraction of a millimeter just by scraping it with your fingernail. that fraction may be all it takes to blow the cam. even under body weight or less placement. don't get me wrong i plan on adding these to my rack. i just have concerns about them. i am sure bullet hard rock would take those concerns away!
