I'm definately going to give it to WC for their hexes. Stick with the big sizes and you won't regret them at some point in your climbing. I just gotta have some more COW BELL!

I like the Wild Country Hexentrics. I have the red, blue and yellow sizes, whatever those WC numbers are. Shape is great, and the slings are nice when you don't want the piece to get disrupted.

Kateri,

I didn't know you had such an affinity for hexes. Who taught you that?

Hey Lee! 'Sup?!?

I admit, I don't always carry hexes and tricams. When I'm on lead close to my limit (ok, it's not that high of a number), having a sewing machine leg, whimpering, cursing, and sweating bullets, I slam the cam. But on multipitch moderates, they're great. Light, fun to place, really flippin bomber.

Cough, cough...

Clearly, she can't bring herself to mention the details. I'll claim sharing the moment of first hex placement in the Winds. A fond memory.

She had me eternally at that first placement...

Avery,

Truly a gentlemanly reply...and Kateri had me eternally when she caught me on one of my two leader falls in the last 20 years.

Kateri,

I don't believe you ever do the Elvis leg, whimper, curse or sweat bullets...well OK cursing maybe. And that pretty cool "whee-haa" on Supremacy.
