Amazingly small set of nuts. I would bring more nuts and some tri cams. And where are the hexes? Nothing beats a bomber hex or nut. More passive gear could cut back on the cams and give more options throughout the pitch and at the anchor.
Good practice to try and use 1 nut and 2 cams per anchor so you save a cam each time for the next pitch. Also try to avoid using multiple of the same size cam in any given anchor so you still have that size available when you continue up.
@@skillsforclimbing Agreed on nuts being slower, both putting in and removing, even for more experienced climbers and especially novices. Also some people prefer only cams for anchors because they are more multi-directional than nuts. But every time I find a good nut placement it's doubly satisfying as it feels bomber and also saves a cam for later.
What sizes are the small offsets you typically bring? They look like aliens, hard to tell the colors. I have a BD Z4 0.2/0.3 offset that gets a lot of use, but I'm considering picking up a couple more offset sizes.
