I note your response re the possible buying of astro nuts on another thread, so it's obvious that using them for aid is not your thing, but I'm curious as to how you see yourself using whatever micronuts that you end up getting.
Are they going to be a 'just in case' filler on your rack?

In my experience any pro smaller than little fingernail size has limited application on soft rock such as found on a lot of Blueys sandstone routes, as they work better on harder rock types such as granite, and quartzite like at Araps.
Having said that however, if doubled up (or tripled), or weaved into a matrix placement they can be bomber, even in the smaller sizes that are generally considered as aid-only, and this applies also to fractured or weathered rock that might otherwise be considered hard enough.
