I have at Devils Tower but I can't remember which route. Used my 5 and my 6.

One of partners has on "Fear of Flying" at Enchanted Rock in Texas. I believe he used 2-#6's and 2-#5's.

Used on Dolphin in JTree. It will get used on Pratt's Crack near mammoth lakes soon too.

No, since I don't own one yet. I have an old Yates Big Dude which is equivalent in size. It turned Kors Flake from an uprotected OW to a layback cruise. Also used on OWs at Vedauwoo.

Mostly extraneous placement on The Mace in Sedona...

I carried the six so I'm gonna place it even if it's a little loose in there!

Got a couple of #5 & #6........and they get used quite a bit

Today:

Penetration.........holy cow what a gruntfest.......
The Putter......One of the best routes at the Voo in my book, #5s work great but a #6 could have been placed.

PS: another Craig gem:

Offwidths are Beautiful!!!!!!!! Of course not at the Voo

From my observations on the For Sale section of the forum, people use their portaledges way less than a #5 or a #6. These cams never stick around long when they are for sale.

Climbing some of the offwidths in Vedauwoo is the main reason I could justify owning anything bigger than a BD #4.
