I went climbing yesterday, loaded a pack that was absolutely stuffed with gear into the truck, then drove out to Vedauwoo. It was not until I got to the trailhead that I realized that I had accidentally left all of my wide gear at home, so one of the routes I wanted to do was right out.
That's right, with a pack holding 21 cams, none of them were larger than an old #4 camalot, and that meant that one (or more) of the routes on my to-do list was completely unprotectable.
Not just runout in spots, not just with less than optimal pro, without my fat stuff, this route would be a solo. All because I'd foolishly left a third of my rack at home in a different bag.
Not as bad as the day when I had to clear my hands-rack off my chair to get to the computer, but still.

If you want to pay for them, sure. Other wise, it's more a 12-year-old-boy esque.

I see that you placed your gear on the garage floor. I think you better send it all to me in case it was exposed to battery acid or some other corrosive chemical.

Photo in pieces because my room is tiny.
I don't drag things like the 8, or rescuecender (for tr solo) up most climbs. And i don't think i've ever climbed with the large hexes let alone placed them, nice and shiny still.

I've just got the red one, and it's far and away my favourite piece evar. I plan to pick up a full set before I go back home to Scotland.

Discontinued?
Shit, they're a worthy cam.
I will, however, trad you a yellow maxcam for any link cam.

The size I really want is the #3, but if I can't source out a full set I'll consider your offer. Does it come with a matching BD Neutrino??
Edit: or would you consider selling it?
