In my opinion, these are probably the best all around cams you can buy. I own every size C3 and every size C4 from 0.3 to 4. The largest sizes are really only useful for certa…

If you are looking for a do-it-all, one quiver cam, this will be it. Wide range due to the double axle, making it really easy to find a good placement. There is a reason why t…

I figured Id need two or three of these, but to be honest I haven't placed it once. I think I should have started with 1 and then worked my way down.…

This stuff is bomber. They're ridiculously small, but their holding power and versatility belie their size. I did a hanging belay from a tiny crack on steep slab using 3 of th…

The best, easiest to place screw on the market today. Color-coded just like your favorite cams. How much is there to say? Pricey, but they just might save your life. Knobs mak…

Construction of these were very good (aren't all ice screws like this anyway? -I don't own that many). The express handle has a nice positive action to it. I got the 19cm…

These stoppers do the job perfectly. There might be other stoppers that are cheaper but these are the smoothest and easiest to place stoppers that I have found. I love the c…

Can't beat these stoppers when it comes to passive pro. It can be tempting to fall on these because you know that they will hold. Sometimes I fall purposely (at least that i…

#1 and 2 say specifically "body weight only" but man the cables are thin on all of them. Really this is a specialized tool for micro-cracks on aid routes, or old aid routes th…

Vastly different from the miro-nuts, these guys are more difficult to place odly shaped and are composed of very pliable metal. I think it's metal. Could be hard lead - at lea…

These nuts are well designed and finding the right size with minimal effort is a breeze (great color distinctions). If you're using the stoppers for trad climbing only, avoid…

Easy to place. Just wish there was color coding on the cable as well--can be hard to tell the color on the small ones when scraped up. Also the biner that come with them is t…

almost forgot.. i reccomend sizes 7-11. I find that the smaller hexes are not worth the extra time than placing nuts, which I reccomend DMM Wallnuts by the way. Get off the…

These are the classic nut design, awesome and bomber placements and backed up by the reliability of black diamond. Very nice pieces, a must have for any trad climber. They see…

Color coded. Not impossible to pull back out when removing like other nuts. Shaped so that they can be used on 4 sides .... and the wire runs all the way through the nut-head…

I only have the micros on the upper end of the range, as I'm not really an aid climber looking for bodyweight only pieces. I have placed these a couple of times and although…

I can probably climb on a rack made entirely of BD micro stoppers. Well, maybe not. But they are versatile the shape is key and strong. This is a necessary piece of any rac…

This was the first I bought for starting the rack. Not much of a rack but with borrowed gear I still ended up using these alot. Nice shape, but need some narrower to have more…

Black diamond makes fantastic stoppers. There're a lot of options out there, but these are my personal favorite. This set is a great supplement for a rack.…

When these puppies were on sale, they are cheap and the quality is good. Great way to expand on the ice screw setup. BD protection is always good quality. I will be buyin…

Black Diamond makes the best ice screws on the market. They're easy to place, light, and sharp. I prefer the Turbo Express, for its ease of placement, but the basic Turbo is h…

Classic big wall piton. Hot forged and beefy, built to withstand repeated use and long term placement. A bit heavy to haul around a whole rack of these for mixed climbing bu…

The X4s, with their super flexible stem, have that same uncanny ability as Aliens to find placements that shouldn't exist. With more durable metal, they might even outlast my…
