I know there are many similar posts to this, so first off, thanks for not bringing it to my attention (whomever you are). I have read these. What would you experienced trad climbers/gear heads reccommend (preferrably based on personal experience) for a (predominantly) North Carolina freeclimber? NC meaning not very many continuous vertical cracks, very little fixed gear, a need to rely on small pieces of gear, possibly scary, and definitely run-out at times. Also, let's just say, hypothetically, that one were able to obtain both above stated products for a relatively inexpensive price, so that shouldn't sway the advice. Thanks,
sam

STFU!
Hypothetically, I recommend you take up bowling. And keep your head out of the ball-return portal... that could hurt.

c3's are the money.
But I really like my blue and yellow tcu too. Buy both the blue and yellow tcu and the four bigger c3s.
I really love my c3s... Alot... I sometimes cuddle with them at night.

in light of the fact that you're a:
In reply to: NC trad climber w/out the typical budget constraints.
I would have to suggest you purchase both and decide which you prefer in which circumstance.
Chalkfree obviously knows what I'm talking about. Sick Bastard. :wink:

Personally I like my TCUs, but I havn't placed any c3's. It's really whatever you feel better above that matters. If you can afford, maybe get a couple of each?

C3's seem great but not $70 great. I'm sad that they will never be on my rack at that price. :cry:
