my first pro

By paulba Ranked #433 - Big Wall Climbing June 15, 2009

This set marks the first pieces of pro I've owned and lead climbed with (now have full rack). Boy do these have their place on the rack. For their weight, they are easily the best pro. On most trad climbs I use about an equal number of nuts and cams.

Nothing inspires as much confidence as a well-placed nut. They stay put while cams walk. When placed well you should have no question that it will hold a fall and not pop out of the rock because of rope drag.
