  1. I'm headed to Tahoe (Reno side) in a couple of weeks with a bunch of nonclimbers, and five days without climbing this time of year just won't do. Any tips for low-key bouldering near there? Thanks, Saragrace
  2. This is great - thank you so much for the info. -Saragrace.
  3. Cool. Thank you. Saragrace
  4. Catbird - Any more specific beta for newer leaders considering this route, or just protect, protect, protect (competently)? I've been eyeing it all season, but so far have limited my trad leading to single pitches. And, having had some adventures at Leavenworth this year I've learned that beta from experienced climbers helps fill in the gaps not addressed by the various guidebooks... Thank you, Saragrace
  5. Oh my. I'm salivating. How on earth did I become a person who salivates over a pile of gloriously arranged metal? Saragrace
  6. Yeah - personally, I like working with passive pro (based on my limited experience so far). But to each their own... Thanks all, for the help! -Saragrace.
  7. Singles of the Camalots (and tricams). I'd ultimately like to add doubles of the active pro but want to wait until I know what my tastes are (e.g. whether I want do do doubles of the C4s or go with other brands for certain sizes). First order is nuts, and thanks for your input! Thanks...
  8. I've looked back in the forums and have seen some discussion of peoples' preferences with respect to brand... good beta, but I have a few more questions. I'm an aspiring trad climber -- frequent haunts for sport climbing have been Exit 38, 32, Vantage, Smith, Tieton, and Squamish, but I basically climb all over the PNW and hope to expand into trad with ground practice this fall and winter and then leave the ground next spring. I've started my rack and have BD Camalot C4s from .5 to 3, and the pink and red tricams (birthday presents rock). I'm ordering a nut tool, and want to add a nut set to the rack. Around here, what are your go-to nuts, and what would you recommend for starting out? The DMM set comes in 1-6 and 7-11 -- if you went with DMMs, would you go with the 7-11 and some smaller singles and/or individual doubles, or a full set of 1-11? Or, do the BD sets make more sense given what gets used around here? Tips? Thanks much! Saragrace
