The rub now is that the larger BD Camalots are real close to range and weight and price of the WC Friends. Anyone with experience with both like to throw out their opinion?

How's the powerwalking characteristic of new bigger camalots though?

Central is cool. Its a face climb though. Easier moves above marginal looking pro( its probably bomb as Heck!!) There is nothing like lookin down at your feet and watching your last piece "flip" out of a shallow water groove..
I tend to over-grip and pump out when I see that

just my opinion,
but I like the small Metolious cams. purple, blue, yellow are great. I prefer them to the aliens in most situations, but that may just be the rock/area I climb at.

I think we need a link on the frontpage that suggests a typical/standard rack for the gorge.

I do wonder if a "typical" rack is suggested in the new guide? Anyone in the know, know?

Here is the ideal starter rack.
The 4 smallest hybrid aliens. These things are so the shit.
0.5 - 5.0 camalots.
