Metolius Ultralight TCU
great in granite
By A C
Ranked #150 - Big Wall Climbing

I really prefer having a three cam unit in these sizes. It happens all the time that there is a shallow placement that works better (or at all) with the middle lobe pointed one way. Its a rare pitch that doesn't see a #3 placed. In these small sizes they fit in many more places than equivalent wild country friends.Only thing I don't like is the plastic sleeves on the side get beat up after awhile and there is no way according to metolius to fix them.

He means that he almost always uses his #3 on climbs. He uses it very often. If you're free climbing, 1-4 is a good starter set. If you're aiding, it would really depend on the style of climb. These go just as small as BD c3s, and have a very slightly higher strength rating in the lower aid sizes.
