Chas Pooh-Bah Registered: 03/22/01 Posts: 1748 Loc: Flagstaff	The 0 and 00 are just fine for leading trad (my current project has a whole section of 00's (but I use the equivelent in BD C3's), but if you are asking what rack is appropriate, I'd be very leary about suggesting those pieces. No offense intended but I am not familar with your experience and to use those pieces realistically you do need to be fairly experienced. Edited by Chas (03/06/08 04:04 AM)

The green alien size range is magical at the gunks, find those placements everywhere. You need to have it doubled up. You might get a couple brassies or copper brass nuts for directionals and emergency aide placements in small seams. HB Offsets (if you can find them), RP's, BD Copper-brass nuts, are all strong options. Metolius Astro nuts in smaller sizes have become popular as well.

I love my brassies, but I don't think that a visiting climber looking to do 5.4 to 5.6 is going to have much need for brassies and micro nuts.
