I've ust started climbing myself and I found that I use hexes more often than not to building anchors (be it top ropes or leading) than cams. Not that cams don't have a place, they do, but hexes are a cheaper alternative and can be used in a myriad of circumstances. My climbing buddy and I share our cams between us, we use HB cams sizes 1 to 4, got them cheap up at Nati earlier this year, don't know if there are any left :)
I hope this helps... |
