Best passive gear is right

By Ranked #42 - Big Wall Climbing September 30, 2009

These are the best. Learn to place them - they fit where nothing else will, they're light (yeah, the big sizes are great too!), and as fusionboy points out - pink is the best. Especially when you're 50 ft. above your last piece on easy slab and the only hole in the rock is a little pocket thing (Whitehorse anyone?).

Way, way, way better than hexes for large pieces in the mountains, unique placements that are irreplaceable in the small sizes. Get some.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I was leading the third or fourth pitch of "Sea of Holes" on White Horse and the only thing that you could place on the entire pitch was tri-cams. They are a god-send and I love 'em (especially the little pink one).
