RACK ENVY
|
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.... |

I want to see the harness that Khoi racks all that on. |

Finally put together my own beginners rack after borrowing and following for the last couple months. Won't be shiny after this weekend!  |

Hell yeah brother - went and climbed E-Rock a few years ago! Fun shit! Hope you get out to those far off places with that rack as well - it sure is a beaut! |

that guy named seb wrote: Its his money, hes phyched. I wish my beginner rack looked like that. I had to soend extra time and money on. Cams that were not 30+ years old. |

if you've got em, place em |
Rob warden The space lizard wrote: Same here, my point isn't that cams aren't incredibly useful but most of the time when your starting out your better off learning nut craft and pacing your self rather than pushing your limits then jamming in a poorly placed cam when your pumped to shit, it's something i see way to often and something that would be avoided if n00bs used mostly passive for their first year and before anyone says anything about how cams are standard, climbing is all about artificial handicaps that's why we climb rather than just walk to the top. The dude without a doubt will need offset nuts in brass and alloy and know how to use them. He probably wont need brass nuts for a long time unless he seeks out routes that have tiny gear. He will never need to buy another cam in his entire climbing career. Until he gets a cam stuck. Where as, my mess of nuts, rigids, 30 year old tcus recalled aliens, ustem camalots and hexes, had to be passed along as soon as i could afford real gear. Good gear makes things easier, when learning things should be hard then things get so much better when you get good gear. |

Learning is generally hard regardless of the gear. Usually people learn the easy tools first and then progress to the more difficult ones. Though in the cases where their teacher is old and fixated on the past instead of focused on the student’s learning things happen differently. |
Bill Czajkowski wrote: This is conventional wisdom but it relies on the idea of building on ideas previously learned, cams teach you nothing about how to place nuts, placing nuts on the other hand will certainly teach you what makes for a bomber cam
I'm 22 and taught my self no crust here. |
