Slightly lighter than the new BD C4 #6, to which the range is more comparable. But the WC #6 is probably the best of the bunch in that size.

Too bad you can't place lockers in cracks. ;)

Wait I cant, shit I have been doing this all wrong!

Nice, the VG and Titon's milfing it up

My partners dont own much so its up to me.

My growing rack. Just added the DMM Wallnuts and the bottom row of cams. (Looking forward to putting some marks on them!)

thought I was on linkedin for a second Andrew..

Fair enough... Is this better?

haha I was just playing.

No worries, Chase, no offense taken. When I signed up on MP, I didn't have any good climbing pics of myself, so I used my professional headshot. (Which does happen to be the same avatar I use on LinkedIn, so, guilty as charged!)

Jealous of all your cams! Thinking I am going to add a few Ultralight Mastercams to supplement my C4s.

If those long alpine slings are hitting your ankles when racked  , you twist them up and rack on one biner.

I've previously used trad gear for setting TR anchors at Devil's Lake, WI. Took an anchor building course, and have set ~20 trad anchors for TR. (Roughly 60+ pro placements, but never on lead.) Planning to transition to trad lead this year, and a few of the climbs I'm targeting need doubles on various sizes, so I got had a little fun when Backcountry had a sale on BD cams earlier this year.   

Plenty.  Most routes CAN be safely led with just a set of nuts and Hexes, but having the option of doubles is definitely nice, especially if you're a scardy-cat who likes to sew things up.  Nothing worse than using up all your gear on the route and having nothing left for your anchor...I like having doubles whenever I don't know the gear.

Queens' Throne, in particular. I was told that doubles of C4 1-3 would be useful there... I realize that "need" is probably a strong word, but it was the excuse I used to take advantage of the BD discount.
