Tri-cam nuts are quickly becoming my favorite piece of gear. Sure they aren't as readily placed as regularnuts or hexes, but when you get those puppies set they are bomber. And still easy to remove for the most part.
opinions?

I have used only one tri-cam so far, but it was bomber. I would have had no troubles taking a gear fall on it. Save for my pride, I am absolutely sure I would not have been hurt. My mom loves them. Next to a good hex placement, I think it's her favourite piece.

Tri Cams are my favorite......
After I was shown proper placement I bought a set.... then a 2nd set.... and I plan to get more of a couple sizes.
Wonderful gear.

The Pink.
I think i have placed it on almost every pitch i've done since having them
it is also usally the most common piece of fixed gear found (not bolts or pitons)

Don't use em, I don't use anything I have to place w/ my fingers. I use only stoppers and cams. I don't know anybody out West "I" climb with that uses them, they even say that they're expensive stoppers.
Just personal preference.

While I've only set a borrowed one, they seemed to set easily and securely.
But check out the love for the pink:

It's got it's own fan club ?:)

Recently did an advanced climbing class where we were practicing some aid. Came to find out that I would end up using lots of tri cams. Never felt more secure on a small piece.
Be well
