Sketchy rock gear?

In my never ending quest to save beer money:

I think i may have to draw the line here though...

Yeah, those things look dicey. They are probably reasonably functional, they just wouldn't be very user friendly.



You should get a set. Then you pull it out and everyone will say, "Lets use my rack." You wear out their gear and you save beer money.

I have some Russian Friends that I bought for $3 each. They have never failed me yet, although my kids do refuse to use my rack!

Thats a lie Steve. On our trip to Conway last fall PJ was raving about all the old school brass head cams he had. We mixed racks for a couple of pitches and I can't say that I enjoyed hanging from a rattley hand jam while I waited for a cam to slowly expand after I pulled the triggers. But PJ relished it! He almost shunned my newer gear, (till we got to the WC zeros anyway, but thats another story) Way to bring up a hard man Adamson.

That sounds like a recipe for the cams not holding if you fall.

Mind you, any cam can get that way.

Give the poor old cams a break. They may be old and slow but once they get there they are still good. Of course they may also be hard to get back out as well, but that only adds to the fun.

they can't be as shetchy as the homemade cams, ice tools and crampons justin and i made when we first started climbing

Keep in mind that almost all the climbing equipment we use started out as homemade gear from someone's backroom.
