They suck though now that they changed the color of the tape

I have two peachies I will trade one for a non-peach colored one and 6 beers [Wink]

METOLIUS - made in the PNW. Gave me a nice pro deal one time.

 

CCH - wanky Colorado brand.

 

The choice is clear.

 

I mean Aliens are OK but they get stuck more easily and are harder to clean when they get all stuck-up.

 

What I cant figure is why no one makes a 3-cam unit with internal springs like an Alien has? It would be thinner laterally than a TCU OR an Alien, and would be more stable than those silly SplitHer Gear things.

red I love...

green and yellow, tied for my second favorite...

 

offset aliens... now those are the actual shiznit.

 

but, if I had to pick just one alien it would definitely be red...

 

Dru is right though, brands with no pro deal are a big bummer. Gotta find the guy out of money in the Valley to pick them up.

I used the yellow alien in the "Lithuanian Lip", as my piece of gear between the bolt and the titanium piton at the crest of the roof. The yellow alien is the key piece of gear so often, I'm no longer surprised!

The best, however, is a yellow lowe ball. Nothing else (besides a pin will fit a similarly sized parallel crack.

 

All other gear is redundant.
