I climb mostly at Ragged mountain and in the gunks, and am wondering what size tricams people would recomend for these areas, I have read that the smallest 3 sizes are the best, any sugesstions?

I climb in the gunks almost every weekend, I carry the smallest 4 or five sizes and double up on the pink tri-cam, like the american express statement, dont leave home without it, thats how you should look at the pink tri-cam in the gunks. I dont know anybody that leads at the gunks that wont swear by the pink tri-cam. Half the time you end up in situations where the only piece of pro that works is the pink tri-cam. Good luck and have fun

If you mostly climb ragged and gunks you should already know the answer if you lead. Daryl

I carry two pink and two red tricams. Anything above that seems redundant to me since cams (SLCDs) easily fit the larger size cracks but many times where you cant get a cam to work a tricam will work perfectly.

I carry one red, one pink, and brown. If youre just starting to lead you may want to double up on the red and pink

Wherever I happen to be climbing, when I see people with tricams, they have the pink and red. Now, I think the blue and white are great sizes also, I've placed both, and also haven cleaned both. They're just unbelievably bomber.
