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!
