Not the biggest for sure, but I think its pretty decent for a broke 17 year old... Now time to make some real money and get some real toys!

hell yeah man! I guess it must be a rule for all high school traddies to have hexes and tricams.

Just got the cams two weeks ago! Haven’t even gotten to go place them yet! Can’t wait until school lets up a bit. Leading on just hexes is a bit scary the first couple times for sure... or maybe that’s just me

I definitely did, although not the nice hexes like he has. An awesome guy here on MP hooked me up with a full set of stopper and hexcentrics plus a bunch of old REI biners for $60. I got a set of pink through blue tricams for $20 and that was my initial first rack. I led quite a few routes on that before I ever got any cams.

nah leading without cams can absolutely be scary. Learning to get by with less is a fantastic skill though.

I'm the opposite, a Bomber nut or hex placement fills me with joy and confidence

I completely agree but the issue is that it's not always easy to find a bomber hex or nut placement (parallel cracks) and when I'm pumped its not fun fiddling with hexes and nuts.

Is there a 12 step group for gear buying addiction?

Yes, but they meet at REI.

What, no hexes? And only 4 black totems? You call that a rack?

You really only need four black Totems for setting up a proper top rope anchor as long as they all have lockers on them.

Want hardware?
Make a climbing video!

With the right producer you can get a ton of free gear.

You certainly don't need all of those totems when you have all of those offset cams. I'll happily take some of those off your hands in order to relieve some of the tension that you inevitably have with your spouse as a result of your bigwall climbing addiction.

Here are most of the cams I own that are in active use - so nothing that has yet to be used, and nothing from my personal museum - except for the original 5 Totem cams with the anodized lobes in MINT condition!  Those guy are too nice to not show off!


Missing from the shot:
- 4 more sets of Wild Country Zero Cams (When I heard that these were no longer being made I went a bit overboard...)
- 2 more sets of Black Diamond Camalot C3's

This is almost all the passive pro I own except for the ones in my personal museum.


Missing from the shot:
- 2 sets of Trango Big Bros sizes #.5-5
- Omega Pacific Wedgies #1-13
- C.A.M.P. Pro Nuts #1-7
- Black Diamond Wired Hexcentrics #1-11
- Black Diamond Stoppers #1 & #2 (forgot them with my aid gear - D'OH!)
- USHBA Titanium Nut Tool
- C.A.M.P. Nut Tool
- Trango Shark

I underestimated how long it would take to set up these shots....

Racking up to replace the anchors on a classic 5.11- in "Indian Creek."

Sexy rack AF. 11/10 gotez would bone.
