Has anyone ever used a BD 6 Cam
|
just curious... if so, which route? |
|
I have. Just once. It was on Ragged Edges. |
|
Yes, Sport Wanker Extraordinaire in the Calico Hills, Las Vegas. |
|
Basically just once..The Classic, Granite Mountain, Prescott, AZ |
|
not to hijack but what about the #5? |
|
Yes. Go to Indian Creek and try some offwidths. Or Cashmere Crack in Little Cottonwood. |
|
#5 is nice on Owl Rock in Arches NP. #6 is still shiny and collecting dust in the gear closet. |
|
Primrose dihedral, moses |
|
I used one on Community Pillar in Red Rocks. I used one on Sheila in Pine Creek Canyon (Bishop area). I think I've used it a couple other times but can't remember specifics. |
|
I cant remember the route, but I used two #5's, one #4, and one #6 on some route in josh. |
|
I used a #6, but only once in self defense. |
|
My rope gun had to borrow one so we could do Great White Book when the line on South Crack was too long last year. |
|
Quite a few... But Moby Dick Ahab was one of the most notable. Its hard to call it an onsight when you spend over an hour squirming up 150ft but there it is none the less. |
|
Weird question. Kind of like "anybody ever buy Climbing shoes and actually use them". |
|
Yep many times at the Voo. Love that size!!!! |
|
Our climbing club has a communal #6 that's passed on every year as a volunteer award. My mentor received the honor last year (the cam's 2nd time out). Part of the deal is that the cam must be placed on a climb at the Gunks and photographic evidence must be provided to the club. |

|
All the time in the desert, and multiple times on a FA called Sidewinder in the Fisher Towers, including one section where you do very insecure climbing past a tipped out #6 while trying not to kick it out. |
|
many times, but hopefully years of counseling and thousands of dollars in co-pays and xanax will cure that problem.... |
|
what? that is like saying has the sun come up today! all the time "fat crack" foe life!!!!1 |
