I finally found pinky

[plexus]

Here's what I found on Camp USA's Web site:

Assmonkey almost always sets the pink and/or red when they are on the rack (which is often). They work really well at Leavenworth and Lil' Si, and protect horizontal cracks like nobody's business. Good to know about the REI recall, too.

 

So, WHAT IS UP WITH THIS?!?!?:

But you can find Metolious cams at your friggin neighborhood Wal-Mart.

 

That just sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen! I can't believe Metolius is distributing to Wal-Mart....

Nice troll assmonkey. Of course, the Wal-Mart quip was just a bit of hyperbole.

I carry pinky and purple on my harness almost all the time, definitely for ice and alpine climbing. Sure beats a teddy bear!

In my experience both the leader and follower need to be devotees of the pink thru brown for them not to get stuck often. It's easy to carelessly push one into a pocket with no apparent way to clean it, or to shove it in further while trying to clean it. It doesn't hurt to bring a funkness if you're not sure your partner of the day knows the secret handshake.

 

BTW, anybody know where to get the Pink Tri-cam Key Fob?

Are you saying " I finally found pinky" (like the title indicates)..."BUT NOW MY FINGER STINKS."

 

Wha chew really talkin bout dooooood?

So after going to four climbing stores, I finally was able to track down the infamous pinky, the .5 tri-cam nobody can do without. It's a stocking stuffer for my wife, ever since last spring when she finally did her first trad lead (without me no less), she has been raving about tri-cams and we need a whole rack of them and nothing else and yadda, yadda, yadda.

 

So what's the deal with nobody carrying tri-cams any longer? REI only has the big behemoth ones (as opposed to those little behemoth ones ) and several stores didn't carry them at all. But you can find Metolious cams at your friggin neighborhood Wal-Mart.

 

One more place....
