I don't see how that makes them less useful. It makes it possible to place in an outward flaring crack which scary as hell yes but at least you can (I only did that on aid to be honest). I don’t see how this hinders it in anyway though. Not arguing just curious.
In reply to: Until you master hexes and tricam, you're still just a wannabe trad climber. Plugging cams and slotting stoppers is just a step above sport climbing
So should we go back to Hemp ropes and tying slings around different size rocks we find for protection. I use hexes and tri cams all the time but that’s my preference, people should climb with what they prefer. My boss tells me that they used to put 12” saw blades on 7” grinders all the time and cut metal with it, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to, they also used to build skyscrapers with out tying off too. Ok this one I am arguing.
