I was talking about black diamond nuts.

F$%K! F$%K! F$%K! F$%K! F$%K!

I did make a bit of a judgement call in Paddys yesterday. I held the size zero RP brand rp in one hand and the black diamond size 1 nut in the other and thought to myself, the flake after the bulges on the second pitch of the pillar could not possibly be so tight along its entire length that it wont fit a black diamond 1.

I thought to myself: Mike Stone lead this flake with pegs and wooden wedges, and didn't feel the need to drill bolts on this section, so it must take more than just a whole lot of number 1 RP's.

Help?!

I don't object to the idea of aquiring said RP's but I don't think they will get alot of regular use on my rack.
