Interesting combination of Chouinard 1st 2nd and 3rd Gen Hexcentrics, some unnamed hexes, some Camp/Chouinard Excentrics and a few Eiger Hexes. Add these to my 80’s Hexes and Stoppers and I will be ready for “No Cams Climbing Day” (Once I replace the slings).
Old hexs.

A great place to camp and hike in the Spring.

Got these large straws at the local Pho restaurant. Seems like they would make good containers for something. AAA batteries just fit.
