That doesn't sound like an inside joke. I climb with a set of DMM Offsets, and for some reason, that red #9 gets placed on EVERY SINGLE PITCH when I rack them. Best single piece of gear out there.

You do know what the phrase "inside joke" means, right?

Of course I know what that phrase means. One of my partners and I have a running joke that a rack of #9s would get you up any pitch (and places it wherever he can get it, if he needs it or not). That's why I said "that doesn't SOUND like an inside joke". I assumed, due to what sounded like a similar joke between myself and a climbing partner (strangely regarding the exact same nut), that the joke was pretty much the same. If it has to do with the thread of HB vs DMM, then I was wrong. My bad.

Recently updated, well within the last year. Doubles from .5-4 on C4's, doubles on gray, green and yellow aliens, singles on red, blue and black and a green WC zero. Double set of nuts, 14 shoulder length draws, 2 double length, and one 12"er. Taped up the tri cams.

How do you like the Logitech trackball? I find it to be a niche piece and just don't find enough placements for it to warrant racking it on a regular occasion.

It's good. Out here in the east there are lots of these pod things that you can jam it in and tie off to. If you look close there's a can of Cope too. Right next to the track ball. Now that's a specialty piece...

Yea that guide is only for getting route descriptions to go with Caters book. It was sitting on my desk and it's so worthless I didn't notice it. Sorry. I can burn both Thompsons and Caters here in a couple months.

Proficiency in placing tricams negates the need in the same way that many believe wired hexes are easier to place compared to slung hexes. Slung hexes are more versatile, and tricams are better as they are produced, without a stiffened sling.
Some will disagree with me.

Interesting. I love tricams: haven't seen that done to them in the Gunks. I can't say I've ever needed the sling to be stiffer but maybe I'll try it with one.
