Beginners Trad rack recommendations? 27-Jan-2013 At 6:00:28 PM kinglukexiv

I've been climbing sport for a while now, and want to make the transition to trad climbing as I'm a big fan of cracks. I have also recently acquired a new job after being a destitute university student for some time, and I've decided to blow my first pay packet on a brand new trad rack.

I've done a bit of research and think I'll get:
- a set of cams (probably the smaller sizes of C4s)
- at least one set of nuts (BD or DMMs)
- a set of hexes with slings, not wires

I've also just come back from thailand and a lot of Americans raved to me about ball nuts for really small placements, although I've never seen them used in Aus before.

Can anyone give me some recommendations or thoughts on the rack I want to build and ball nuts?
