I'm with Wendy - I recently went up watchtower crack with a #6 cam! No shuffling, but it made the world a much nicer place, as far as I was concerned. 'Course, I'm a unashamed wimp. As of today I'm also the proud owner of a pretty purple #5 cam as well (thanks, Rock Hardware), so I can really sew it up next time!

Great climb though, whichever way you chose to protect (or not protect) it.
