I went through my local gym first and was told they were discontinued. I tried backcountrygear.com and they couldn't get them from Trango, Mountaintools has it prominently displayed 8/08 discontinued.
I got lucky and managed already to get the full set from secondary sources. Thanks Tanner and Clayton!!

I'm not sure what the big deal is really. Feels and acts like a normal cam to me. I'm aware of the whole offset stem thing, but that's a nonissue IMO. OH well, next up BIG PIECES.

Added a couple of new pieces to my rack. My buddy found almost a full rack of these in a burnt out cabin and gave me a couple...not sure how I'll sling the second one.
*edit to add picture*

Just mill out an ~1 inch slot and call it a gunks tie off. That thing looks better than many of the pins at any rate...

The hex serves two purposes.
Its prime function is to provide me a laugh every time I place it. Its secondary function is to provide me a double in the 3 inch range if I need it.
