I have 2 of the smallest (Black Diamond) ones.... #1's I think they are,
and I find them very handy, but I think I need to get a couple #2's,
(and maybe a #3?)..
Sometime when I'm trying to place the smallest one, I wish I had the bigger one.
Anyways, after looking over a couple topo's in SuperTopo 2nd Edition™,
all the gear recommendations just say something like "2-4 beaks".
So how should this be interpreted?
I have some A5 Beaks™ too, but I guess I wondering about any
reference as to the size of said "beaks" for different routes.
Chris, any help on how to read that?
Edit:
Or are beaks kinda like hooks....you kinda just take an assortment?

Edit: Yeah, ST beaks = #1. You want #3s, they pwn, as the kids say now. They almost make KBs obselete.

Yo, nice.
So does "2-4 beaks" mean 2-4 of each size?
Anyone know the formula for "beak to pecker" conversion?...
Does it involve trig?

I don't know what route you're planning, Shackleburger, but I like how you're thinking!

So it's black diamond that's always spamming me!
I think they have some patch or creme that makes your gear bigger but maybe it wouldn't be bomber anymore
