Big bros are great; I wouldn't classify myself as an offwidth climber of any sort; but I love my Bigbros (#2 and #3). I Did 'Layback and Think of England' in the Gramps with them, placing them one handed added to the pump (given it was laybacking); but they worked, and I could do the climb without hauling around those massive cams.
The beauty of BigBros is that they are lightweight, and fit easily into your bag! Try carrying a couple of size 6 cams! Large cams are definitely the way to go for shuffling and super hard stuff maybe, but sometimes you do need to leave a piece, and well placed bro is solid. :-) |
