While climbing in Red Rock, Nevada, I had the misfortune of having to leave a Metolius #8 power cam in a crack. Now my issue is my Rack is an eclectic, a mixture of cams; BD C3 (000-2) and C4 (gold and purple), one Alien (blue), 4 Trango (1-4), one Wild Country friend ( green, found booty), 5 remaining Metolius (2 ultra-light 0,1 and 3 power cams 5-7), and 6 totem cams (all except the little black one, can't seem to find it any where). My question is what brand should I get to fill the open slot on my rack? Do I convert to totem fully? Do I compliment it by filling out another brand or brands, (BD, Metolius, Trango) or do I just get a new shinny #8 to hang next to my old battle scared ones?

You have enough different kinds of cams at this point that you probably can decide better than anyone else.

Better to just send your Frankenrack to me and get all new stuff that matches.

My comment was harsh, but people come on to the forums asking MP to make every decision for them. The best comment is from David K.

If you can't make this decision on your own, how do you ever decide where and what to climb?

thank you all for your input, I am surprised I didn't get more response on my comment about my use of tricams, and I think I will get a link cam, though no one suggested it!
