Wanted: large cam
May 09, 2013, 05:28:01 pm
So with summer round the corner I'm going to get my head / self back into doing some trad, and fancy a go at some of Yorkshire's more unpleasant offwidth routes...the list in the new guide sparked me off.

Having scoped out the price of large cams I'm struggling to come to terms with spending nearly a ton on a piece of gear!

So, just wondered if anyone has a Wild Country 5 or 6, or Black Diamond 5 or 6 they don't want / need any more?

Happy to make a sensible offer if someone out there can help.

Shouldnt you be getting them according to tape colour - so they match you pastel lacostes? :p

I might have a bigish one that I repaired trigger wire on, which may or may not have broken again since. Got a Metolius Supercam to replace it, so gathering (chalk) dust.

Believe you me I'm not going to ruin the Lacoste by wearing it to thrutch up Desperation Crack at Brimham!

Thinking about it, its probably cheaper to get vintage Lacoste jumpers to match the cams...

Sure - but you might want to use those weights before you sell 'em!
