Yesterday I got a set of black diamond nuts. and 2 long slings for "aid climbing" while on TR with an ascender. I do definately plan on leading trad but right now im focusing on getting good at placing gear. especially passive, I have noticed that people are too inclined to trust things that are "More mechanical" and with more moving parts, such as spring loaded cams. when in fact nuts can reach ultra bombproof levels where there is just nowhere for the thing to go. im 17 btw I have been climbing since middle school.
