The placements are great but a lot of the rock at Frog is glassy as hell, hence the number of people who hit the ground because their cams slide out. Same with Araps. Very few people seem to hit the ground with cams sliding out at Buffalo, Booroomba, the Blueys, etc. I agree that "set" is a silly word when used in connection with cams, much better to say "test".

Am seriously considering getting some Totem things for Bungers. Normal cams in perfect parallel cracks are not reliable down there.
