R U getting new cams this year?

I was wondering what cams will be bought this year and why. There is a lot to choose from out there.

BD
Metolius
Wild Country
Trango
HB
DMM
CCH
Rock Empire
Camp
Omega Pacific
Valley Gaint

Brand loyalty, price, reputation, new feature, coolness, double sling, ECT.
What makes the difference for you??

If I see something that catches my fancy I will be getting new to me cams. Want one more (ea) green and purple pre-C4 single stem BD Camalots, maybe some more old style TCU in the 0 and 00 sizes.

Im thinking on some new small cams this season. either TCU's or C3's Not sure on which though. also looking at .75-2/3 from either BD or DMM if i have some extra cash...

Unfortunately... Those new DMMs look pretty sexy, I will probably cave in and buy them. *sigh* I like how you can extend the slings and the double axle design. The trad purchases never end for me!

I want to pick up a few flexible stem cams too, so I am eyeballing picking up a few Aliens (red, yellow, and green) or the equivalent in Metolius Master Cams. Of course, the Zeros look pretty neat too.

I bought a bunch of used TCUs on consignment for $5-10 each. :D Go Aid Rack Go!

Ditto, My rack is a little light in this area. I'm probably leaning a little more toward the TCU's.
Mmmmmmmm, gear.

I'd like a .75 camalot or equivalent. The jury is still out as to what brand/type.

I bought a set of the Metolius offset Master cams last fall and I really like them. I am pretty set for cams this year unless something new and irresistible comes along.

I'd like to get some offset Master Cams.

I just got a set of TCUs but I only have up to 4 in the C4s so i need to get a 5 and 6 for off-withs... I miss my off-withs! Any one want to do Pratts crack? :)

Probably going to pickup double up on .3, .4, .5, .75 and #3 on BD cams.

Not a huge fan of the new DMM dragon cams yet i might just have to see one.

Yea, but I am going to wait until it warms up some.

I'm thinking about getting a few of the larger Trango Max cams and maybe some C3s or smaller Master Cams

nope

We'll see how big my REI dividend is. Last cam I bought was the smallest of the link cams. That was with an REI gift card! Otherwise my metolius cams are well over 10 yrs old. Replaced the slings at least!!

If you ever need a climbing partner I just became partner-less and am looking for people to climb with! Jasminelkall@yahoo.com

Good price on C4's. 25% off, no tax(out of NY), and free shipping(might have to buy 2)
