Ukrainian cams? 11-Nov-2008 At 1:50:17 AM aquaborealis

Hello Australian friends, I am a newbie here. Never been to Australia, I would sure like to visit sometime.
Anyway, I found this thread by doing a search on "Gear4Rocks" as they are advertising quite a bit on E-
Bay. Here in the US.
I have found this forum very informative, especially the links to Black Diamond, where they did the breaking
tests. Excellent info. I have a rack of about 25 cams (plus nuts and stuff) that I am narrowing down to about
20.
So I was selling my stuff on E-bay and I noticed this company "Gear4Rocks". Man they sure are selling a
lot of stuff on E-bay.
That is great that Ukraine is trying to better itself, I have always felt sorry for Ukraine with all that they have
gone through historically. What Stalin did to them was horrible.
But just looking at the pics on Ebay, the stuff does not look as "clean" as BD, Metolius, or Wildcountry.
Heck , you could always use it for aid climbing, and just place the good stuff where it counts.
I guess I am spoiled, but I want my gear to have good ergonomic design and handling, I don't need any
extra problems when I am free climbing on some thin crack, overhang 100 meters off the ground.
