What size cams are good for the Grond to have multiples of (and how many!). Don't fancy carrying it all up from the car....

It's not that long so you don't really need multiples of any, but i think it's a 2 or a 2.5, 3 higher up. Sinker hand jam width.

I'd take doubles of those, and I think a 4 would be good for the top. No quickdraws needed, and no nuts, (maybe a few for the belay, can't remember.)

Dan, I'm with you all the way on this.

I had a single set and got pumped out my mind leap-frogging them all the way up. I felt like I'd climbed the route twice by the time I was done (and it would be hard enough doing it once!).

Still, all of that aside - what a corker.

dunnyg, enjoy!

Matches my memory 2 and 2 and a half. Doubling up on that size is useful. Jambs are very good but save a bit for the final moves.

Sounds pretty much what Rob was describing!
