Where these guys really shine is in the larger sizes where cracks aren't as finicky and you can double or triple more expensive big cams. I love my two #11's
Got this hexes some time ago and have been using them for new apertures, they fit just perfect for some cracks. The size and angles they have are really good to place them correctly on the rock, kinda like a bombproof protection. It won't come off easily.
I bought the largest three sizes, but I don't see how these are supposed to replace cams. Maybe I'm a total NARB, but if the crack is parallel, how does the cam not fall through? However, these are great where a nut is not long enough to stick behind a protruding feature.
Finally got to use these after ordering them a month ago and must say, I like the options they give me. Between these, some stoppers, and a few tricams, I never placed a cam on my first 3 climbs leading on gear. There's something nice about finding that spot where both sides snug into the crack you know it's not going anywhere.
Every traditiona trad climbers should have one set of this hexes, are very useful when you want to have a light rack, this hexes can reduce the number of equipment you carry in your rack because of its three different widths, this means that carryng one Hexe is like carryng three different Chockstone sizes with you. The Hexes also are very usefull in sections where the crack opens wide where the cams can not feet in.
These hexes are solid and well made, which is what you'd expect from Black Diamond. I've taken falls on jut about every size and they have help up. They are easy to place and remove. I know it's just a mental thing but I prefer hexes to stoppers whenever I can.
