In reply to stevomcd: Ah, that's interesting that is
So, I think I'm about to buy a bunch of DMM Prowires from Needlesports - not as pretty as the heliums I've been eyeing up, but a lot more realistic price wise! And although I'm just going to be climbing sport for now before I make the physical/mental/financial leap to trad, I'll buy a range of sizes to give me more flexibility in the future.
How many do I need? I'm f*cked if I'm goign to buy 14 straight off, surely I don't need that many for the climbs at portland, I was guessing 6-8?
