Thinking of dabbling into trad, looking to build out a rack on an as-needed basis.

Climbing here mostly in Southern Ontario, so limestone blocks along the Niagara escarpment.

Some light research suggests I should:

  • favour passive pro over cams (slimestone, etc.)
  • consider offset nuts

… then the topics seem to always drift into a discussion about the merits of tricams lol

Looking at the dragons in size 2-4 to start.

Am I on the right track?

Also I’m legit afraid of using the #nuts or #rack tags.

    @[email protected] thanks! I did get some helpful responses outside of Lemmy (which didn’t federate in, oddly). I wasn’t expecting too much discussion, compared to other placed (Mountain Project, Ontario climbing forum, etc.) but I wanted to submit it to the Lemmy community anyway just to see!
