I don't know Survival, I find the 4th cam makes all the difference in security.

Yeah but the tri-cam fits in a lot of places that a 4 cam won't fit!!!
You know....something like that?

You talkin'(typin') to yerself?
Personally, Bruce, I think Tricams are bitchen units. The new tiny ones especially. I have all the small ones to Red. The big ones make great boat anchors.;-)

Sorry man, I gotta keep my tricams. In horizontals & pin scars, they're hard to beat. Bitchin', even.

Yeah, so I meant TCU's not tricams. I am so out of the gear loop.

I thought that's what you meant, Lepton. It's all good.
Smooth cam TCU's are still good gear. I've got a mixed batch.
It was a smooth cammed #2 that caught my Mescalito fall(100+).
Nice tank, Mister E...

sorry, just posting out loud.

been using them more and more the longer I climb at Pinnacles. If one is solely a sport wanker, then there is no real need because you won't get off the beaten path, but any repeats of existing routes where gear is needed, I think you should have a set.
Anywhere that pockets are found, I can see using them.
I use them up on SPH.
The pink is righteous. If you had to pick just one. That's the one.
other sizes vary on need.
ps- talking to yerself, not always good. Just saying. ;)

I agree that they are bitchin. Probably even to Chongo's standards of bitchin, which is pretty bitchin.
I use them in Red Rock a lot, especially the pink and the black. Just have the bottom 5 but they have been well worth the money. I know one guy that has a full rack of them, doesn't even use cams much.
Offset holes and scars, these things are money in.

Simply put TriCams are the most elegant and versatile protection device of all time.
