If you're not a retard tri-cams are the best thing since sliced bread. Yeah, they are harder to place than most gear, but they'll fit in places where nothing else will---- and not come out. I've whipped on Pinky several times and have not had it rip, they are sweet in aid. I put them in my anchors more than you'd think, just remember they're on your rack and they'll come in super handy. :shock:

Another cali climber who like his tri-cams, I find them very useful for anchors. Usually have the stance and time to make good solid placements and I don't have to leave my cams behind in my anchor. Then later when I need something I can place easy my cams are hanging right there on my gear loop. Much better than wondering where that #2 is just to remember that is built into your anchor.

As someone else said, I fell like I am taking the bait...
I always have two pink with me at Seneca.
One time I forgot which way was up for about 16-17 ft and pink reminded me by stopping my progress.

Indian Creek - never
Valley – rarely
Weirdo flared cracks at Josh - every once in a while
long low-traffic granite stuff - sometimes
Red Rocks trad – most of the time
New routes on pocketed tuff or limestone - always
Thailand (to back up 3-year-old stainless bolts that are falling off) - always
gunks - maybe find out one day, but not if gas prices keep going up...
- a CA climber with a double set of small tricams

I climb primarily on the niagara escarpment up in ontario, and I dont think theres a route up there that cant be protected with half a set of nuts and the bottom 6 tricams. Hell, Iv'e even done entire routes wiht nothing BUT tricams. I love em, and wont leave the ground without them. When I place on in a solid placement, I've got no fears of running it out and taking a whipper on one (which I've done).
