if its a harder route/FA ill carry 1 micro 2 narrows and 1 wide, but on easier routes just a narrow and a wide are more than enough...
hint: a super light tap with the hammer will often make camhooks waaay bomb, but still removable by hand...i'll only do it on more gnar pitches were i'm getting into broken bones territory/need to leave them as gear
have fun, be safe
wear yer dam helmet, aid climbing=inverted brain splatter
Two micros and two mediums Ride on my adders all the time , I'll also have two wides stashed on ether my shoulder strap or harness where there easy to get at .
If you hammer them in be prepared cuz they have a nasty habit of springing out on you Usually about the time you reach the third or second step.also when hooking choss your More than likely going to be breaking shit off and falling , when I take someone out to practice I'll always set a TR , same if it's just myself except I use a gri gri for self belay. Even if your just a couple feet off the ground it's way too easy to break an ankle this way
I find the best placement for cam hooks to be old lost arrow / kinfe blade pin scars or small flakes that wont take a fair- good micro nut .when I'm moving fast . Most really thin cracks can take a nut ( that's what the micro nuts are for, besides Even though it's a small nut I always feel much better using a well placed nut than a cam hook) Just my .02
