BD Hex #1
I've has the smaller hexes on my trad rack for a while now and just can't seem to find good placements for them on the rock. The wire makes them as easy to place as a nut, but to take advantage of the hex/camming shape takes a uniquely shaped crack and lots of creativity. I find these small hexes are better used in tapering cracks, like a nut placement rather than placed as a camming hex. Could be lack of practice, but I think most folks are better off doubling up on nuts.
