I'm of the old school and would prefer to place a nut or hex long before resorting to a cam. BD's Hexcentrics are a light weight high quality product and with a full set, you are sure to find bomber placement.

Great all around rope at a super price. I paid about $100 for a 60 meter. I liked it so much that I bought a secon BW rope.

Great basic set. Light weight, non-stick and easy to clean and pack.

I have used mine on early spring alpine ascents and have found it to be every bit as good as axes with bigger names and of higher prices. From controlling glisades to arresting falls, it has been absolutely reliable.

Light weight, brite lite and excellent battery life. I got mine on sale for less than 15 bucks. I've paid more than that for a less functional, heavier flashlight that requires a hand to carry it. Buy one of these, you won't be sorry.
