the necessity of hexes these days	3-Apr-2005 At 10:04:45 PM	Superstu

My little altercation with Hyena at Easter involved ripping a no.2 friend (although that wasn't the reason i hit the ground) but now that's two friend placements popping at arapiles when i'm not expecting it. In fact that's two gear pops in ten years of climbing, both at the same crag, with similar placements. I'm utterly convinced now that cams (of any make) just aren't reliable in smooth Arapiles cracks. And considering that climbs at Araps that follow crack lines just eat hexes, I think I will go back to carrying a full complement of hexes on my rack when climbing there. Sure, they do take a little longer to place, but I just don't trust cams there any more.
