mountainmandoug Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I am in the process of building a rack and trying to keep it light. I recently ordered #5-#8 Metolious Ultra-Light Power cams. These cover from about 1.1-2.9 in. I suspect at some point I'll end up buying a couple of smaller cams and I'm wondering weather it would be better to get 3cam units or four in the sizes from about .5-1 inch. What do people think?

Dannible Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'd say 3 for anything from orange down (not sure what the sizes are). I have tcus and 4s in a few sizes and when I only bring one of each I bring the tcus because they work in so many places that the fours don't. I have taken 3 falls on tcus, including a size 0 that walked itself passive, and all have held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
