@h1mans You don't do anything even close to what you are describing. How about your second removing the cams on the way up so you have gear to lead the next pitch. You have a way to go and learn before you have to worry about this.

tbh as a beginner climber you dnt need cams to complete a rack, when i first bought my rack (about 18months ago) all i had was a set or wired nuts and a set of hexentrics and a load of slings and karabiners, that pretty much works on most grade climbs that beginners would start to lead on, i mean cams only really start coming into play on grit stone climbing with grade above S or VDIFF i didnt start placing cams until i was leading at VS and even then hexentrics are just as useful to a beginner

Its generally a bad idea to buy used climbing gear of any kind off the internet because you don't know the condition. It could turn out that you bought a damaged cam or nut, etc and you would have been ripped off. Thats just my superstition anyways. If I get used gear i ensure the quality of it personally.

I guess you wouldn't want to use the first gen cam with the cord over a remotely sharp edge...

@afterthought9 Sharp edges certianly would not be ideal but if your run out and need gear don't pass it up. It takes a lot to cut a cord though I know that some rock can be near razor sharp. Be aware and get another piece in as soon as possible.

Hey mike, is that blue "medium sized cam" you used for the vertical placement one of the old clog cams?
chokeonaloaf 10 months ago
@chokeonaloaf No not likely as I don't have a clog. camalots mostly and whatever else I can pilfer
mikebarter387 6 months ago
@mikebarter387 You sure? It's definitely not a camalot, 3:07 shows a single axle. I just guessed clog because i know around that size is teal. Not wild country either for sure. Hmmm...the only other one i can think of that looks like that is maybe a Cassin Joss or an Advanced Base Camp cam.

@chokeonaloaf Your right it is single axle but still think it is a camalot or pre camalot freind. Not sure will head down to the gear room in the morning see if I can find it. Good eye there bud.
