In reply to: maybe, depends on balls and rock type and camhooks and offset aliens, and, and, and... You climb with balls? Smaller cams have made the need for pins less necessary, but not obsolete. There are still thin seams that are to narrow or too shallow to accept clean gear, and require some type of piton to pass the section. Ed

Giant nails do work. I've used them a couple of times on aid routes back in the old old days :) cosmiccragsman
