Has anyone ever used a BD 6 Cam
|
On the way to the Voo as we speak. I hope to place my #6s a lot!!! |
|

|
I guess I don't go out of my way to seek OW so I haven't used one yet. Ha! |
|
Yep, and I have loved it every time. I was shut down more then once without it too. Ahhhh the 6, She's beautiful! |
|
For ~1/2 of Road Warrior on Ebvans it is about the only thing that would have worked. But I didn't have it and I was pissed. |
|
Screw it. Go straight to the VG9&12! |

Ahab -
Big Baby - Harding Route -Mt Conness Pratt's Crack Probably lots more but ones with pictures are more enticing. |

the old #5 camalot was a LOT better on big baby than the new 6 camalot. new 6 is too big most of the way, except the very end. |
|
I love using my #5 and #6. Looking to get the WC tech 5 and 6 soon as well to round out the selection. Have pride in the wide! |
|
Placed them a couple of times but I don't own one. Mostly just wish I had one mid stomach-wrenching runout.... usually this happens very high on things where extremely large falls aren't the end. Always seems too cumbersome to carry them up any thing taller than a single-several pitch. |

|
I haven't used a number 6, but does a totally tipped-out number 5 count? |
|
Yep. I have one new BD six, two old BD fives, and two old BD 4.5s. At least one of them gets used just about every day I head out. I climb in the West, and I prefer to climb in places like the Vou, the SSV, and the Splatte. |

look for old pic of Craig lubbin on over hanging crack .. pro all foster cans Big Bro's in side fucking clssic... fat gear ruls |
|
Oh yeah!! |
|
I own one and bring it on climbing trips for anyone to use. It's only been placed once when kbobby and I did the second pitch of Ragged Edges, but I find that just having it available gets people thinking in entirely new directions of what they want to get on. |
|
Love putting a #6 in above me and keep pushing it up. Like being on TR the whole time!!! |
|
I'm pretty sure if you don't use a #6 we can't be friends. Here's to being a masochist!! :) (side note I'm a big bast**d 230lbs) |
