Best price? Best value? Best looking? Best to be photographed with? Best for picking up Bettys? Best for pockets? Best for holding falls......

They're all good. Search the archives....everyone has an opinion.

Free ones... Climb trad enough and you're bound to pick up booty!

I found a 1.5" alien on the trail 1.5 hours into the Epinephrine descent.

I climbed with SC_Climber yesterday and saw a carabiner WAY in the back of Baby Robbin's Crack at Woodson in SD. While he was climbing it he looked down and saw it was attached to a .5 camalot buried about 10" back. He made a little nut tool extender with a stick and some tape and fished around for about 3 minutes before coming away with the prize...

Ones you can operate with a paper cut?

Far and away the best are old, used Forged Friends. Light & inexpensive. What more could you want? This must be true, since I have a set of doubles of them that I'm thinking about putting up for sale. I recently bought my neighbor's old rack. I bought it for other stuff, but I either need to sell the cams, or actually start using them. I think I'll weigh them vs my regular cams before I decide.

What's the allure of trolling? Didn't that go out of style in '95? :roll:
