Totally agree with this. I hate getting bad rock, it’s gotta be high quality for me. I like when the crack is consistent and smooth, for sure. And I think it’s pretty obvious you don’t want to loose $80 bucks worth by having way too much crack for your gear by trying to jam it all up in there and risk it falling out. Gotta take your time and look for high quality crack, with no crumbly looking rock that could ruin your whole day!

I now know to only use protection when the crack is perfect. It saves on money too! I only needed 1 piece of gear for a 30 metre project!

Little metal stuff that can wedge and hold hundreds of kilos. Amazing.

Lobes work independently, parallel cracks are not a requirement.

80$ for a cam makes free soloing look more appetizing, but not enough to risk my life lmao

The first mistake to avoid is going rock climbing.

When possible place your cam so the sling end points in the direction of a fall. You don't want your cam to rotate in the crack as it catches your fall. Dual axle cams like BD won't "umbrella" in a hard fall.

Also, run it out where you can, and double-up at the hard sections.
- to make sure you have adequate gear for the rest of the climb, the cruxes, and the anchor
- and because gear rips sometimes

You don't need to have parallel cracks, yes it will break them if you fall into them but they will catch you, this was tested buy multiple people (Hownot2highline comes to my mind but I'm not totally sure if he did a video about it)

Try totem cams for funky pods and flares. Change yo life!

Also, don't be afraid to attach a runner to reduce the amount of "walking" the cam is able to do

Cam removal tools are a great investment

Another mistake is buying cheap cams that are heavy when you decide to do a big wall or have a small range/ don’t work In weird situations. Totems and modern c4/z4 for the win
