I've spent more money on my cams, that get less use then my mat. but i still see them as a worthy investment. you don't have to be bouldering all to get value out of your mat. a pad is what, $300-400. for that initial outlay, it'll last for years, and you always have the luxury of being able to go for a bouldering weekend with mates whenever you like. rather then wait for someone else with a pad to ask. If you think you'll want to go bouldering at least half a dozen times outdoors, buy one. worth every penny. Mines definately paid for itself hundreds of times. but my nice big TOTA pads looking a little worse for wear these days.
