i managed to get a pro deal form right around the time that i got my tax return (which was really big) so i bought a full set of cams. i also have half a set of hexes. my big cams and hexs aren't much use on climbs that only take small gear. i don't think my rack is large, but i don't need to take all of it on every route.

10-4..so eyeball the thing from the base. isn't that half the fun?

you don't have any tricams and you're trad climbing at the red? get some tricams dude.

what's a tricam? is that Paris' dog?

tricams are the most useful/versatile trad climbing gear in the universe!

Horatio, have you found some kind of sexual self gratification utilization for tri-cams??

Yes Sandy...oh yes. He uses them oh so well

one of my good friends never uses a guide book. he just goes to the cliff, looks at whatever line looks coolest and tries it. he is a solid 12 climber so he feels that he can get himself out of any trouble he gets himself into. and he doesn't really give mush credence to grades anway.

so anti-climber, if you want to onsight stuff it is pretty simple, just go do it.

got the four smallest tri-cams and a full set of nuts as well.

tri cams are useless unless you get a no hands rest to place the suckers. I had a friend attach coathangers to them so webbing would be stiffer.
