Beginners trad rack Sydney sandstone/ Barrenjoey 15-Sep-2013 At 6:20:04 PM sbm

Message

I never got many good hex placements at Bjoey, I think a lot of the cracks flare a bit and cams generally have heaps more good placements. Although, I'm probably just not good at placing hexes.

1 Set of nuts. Cam sizes from about Camalot #0.5 to #3 although you will occasionally really want the small cams #0.3 and #0.4. Plus a few slings.

My ideal Sydney sandstone rack would be the nuts, my full set of totem cams, then a friend's #1 and #2 camalot, then bigger camalots as the route requires. I have WC Friends but I wouldn't recommend them.

Then go do Crack Of Dawn and Pledge A Legend which are probably the best beginners trad leads. Then get on Cosmic Ecology, Facet, and Judgement Day. And quickly, because the ticks will be out in force soon!
