erik Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 ILL JUST SCORE YOU ONE ALONG WITH THOSE NEUTRINOS! RIGID OR FLEX? Quote
sobo Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 Interesting proposition. But when you say "forged" do you really mean cast aluminum shank as opposed to wired shank? Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted July 8, 2003 Posted July 8, 2003 its a deal... i got one for ya... PM me if interested... Quote
Norsky Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 What possible reason could you have for such an offer? Forged is Strom Thurmon while flexible is John Sherman. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 It's like a harley or gold wing.... After using my bud's forged deal and also having 3 forged friends myself I would say I prefer the older style WC. I traded NOtgotmoney my camalot(weighalot) for his forged friend and now he wants to trade back.... Quote
Norsky Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 What the hell? Have y'all ever whipped on a horizontally placed forged? I have not and that's why I'm still around. Quote

IF I think the route requires it I'll bring otherwise... PLus tri cams are good and cheap. I cant count too many times when I needed a cam that large in a horizontal........... I've yet to need one. That's all. Quote
Dru Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 i will trade 6 empty beer bottles for 6 full beer bottles anytime Quote

Dru Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 I would like to posdt my appreciation of the humble Tri Cam in the NEW TRI CAM LOVE FORUM Quote
Norsky Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 No (non fixed) Tri Cam has ever held a fall. If you think this is not so you're wrong. Quote
Dru Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 i have taken a 20 footer on a tri cam and later removed it tri cams rock da world only good lowe invention. Quote

Your fears dont dictate my decisions. Do as you wish. And this whole time I thought Tri Cams sucked, when it's really a lack of huevos on my part. I'll remember to breathe deeply as I place that next Tri Cam into the placement that "nothing else will fit in". Quote
Dru Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 try the vicuna beach without tri cams and have fun soloing the crux pitch.... or a couple of ice routes where tr cam with beak in the ice and cam on the rock is the belay. slcd's just rip out. Quote

Just stating my thoughts. If you disagree good for you. Make some comments and arguments and whatever. I'm not necessarily going to argue against them with prejudice. Carry your camalot and I will carry my friends. Is one better than the other if they both work? No. Quote

So do heavy ass weighalots aka camalots. Many times a different brand will work in the same place. It's like being a dude that fixes up a honda civic with racing pipes thiking he is better off than somebody in a turbo audi. Who cares? Quote
whirlwind Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 took a slider on a pink one but then it fell out after i climbed past the secound time.. reminder to reset gear after a fall, or atleast check it. Quote
Dru Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 ya but I have only done about 6 climbs off that tick list. its more like a to do list. Quote
Norsky Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Name one granite route where tri cams are essential without a hairy run out. Quote
Dru Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 its notthey are essential more like they work just as good and are lighter than a set of cams so you take 1 set cams and 1 set tri cams Quote
