Jaybro: After that Wired Bliss posted photographs of the cam lobes of their future big units on facebook, I have not found any more information on these cams. In the meantime, I have secured the photos on my computer… I did not that Wired Bliss changed hands, again…

Great stories. Thanks for sharing. I had forgotten about getting kicked out of parachute class. I always seem to irritate femminatzis more than most. I think they can read my mind or something.

…/… I remember chamferring the holes more. Another thing I remember doing was welding the spacers into the cams so they wouldn't get as floppy from wear. That may have been unique, and combined with the chamferring would be the key identifiers.

The Chouinard carabiner, drilled by Steve Byrne, has over 100 holes and took about 4 hours to drill.

John Middendorf mentioned the Wired Bliss Jumbo Buds for the first time in the catalog A5 1988.
Jay, could you let me know if the Jumbo Buds or Big Buds came onto the market before this year?
