cracked Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 I tend to appreciate the large range of the Camalots up to #2, after that, they get pretty heavy. Quote
Dru Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 the best nuts are Wild Country Rocks and the rest are suck. so there. DMM Walnuts, I have found have more of a tendency to get stuck cause they are all scooped & stuff. So i suggest you get sum cause then it will be more booty for me next time I am at Smith. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted February 27, 2003 Author Posted February 27, 2003 No way, Captain Booty. You can't handle the runout chossy nightmare hardman horrorfests that DFA climbs. Like Cinnamon Slab, for one. You wouldn't make it past the approach stairs. Spiderman, for another. The death-defying free-solo downclimb over Asterisk Pass would have you pissing your pants with 'nad-shriveling fear. And you would die of hypoxia trying to weasel your way over Misery Ridge, so don't even try it. Quote

Have four of them, they seem to place really well, though with their shape I could see them getting stuck more than a traditional hex. I don't use them as much now that I have some cams. Quote

Like I said, you love what you got. I have gotten _1_ Wallnut stuck ever. It's on Lion's Way in the Bugs if anyone wants it. Quote

fern Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Dr. Flash Amazing you should get some tricams. They come in pretty colours like pink and red so they will coordinate well with your lycra. Plus they are the BOMB, dood. Quote

Actually, in the Doctor's relatively limited trad experience, tri-cams have been one of his favorite pieces of gear. Every route seems to have at least one excellent tri-cam placement. They always seem like such stonker placements. Looks to be some good deals on e-bay, too. Quote
Dru Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 tri cams fit so well in chipped crack pockets (sport climber term for pin scars) Quote
