Stopped in to REI yesterday to pick up some more accessory cord. Spent some time perusing the other climbing gear and came up with a few random thoughts/observations/questions. (I'll leave the "REI's selection sucks" to the other threads!)
They had the large Supercam in the display case. Didn't handle it, but thought to myself, "Damn that's big". (That's what she said!) Anyone rocking the Supercams and have opinions? Also noticed that they have welded connections to the axle like my older Powercams. Any idea why they chose welded over the newer Powercam/TCU design?
The OP Link cams seem to have a generous, if not excessive, overlap in range. I would have thought that they would have made the smaller ones smaller (if possible?) and the bigger ones bigger, or just made 3 sizes to cover the same range.
I believe Metolius' new FS Mini biner has officially reached the point of "too small". I can't open the gate with my thumb without having to turn it sideways to clear the nose, and my hands aren't that big. Anyone actually using these things on a regular basis yet? I'm not concerned about their strength, as all of Metolius's stuff is so well made, but the functionality of such a small biner.
Ok, random thoughts/observations/questions done. Discuss, flame, spew, or whatever.
