I was sitting here thinking "cam! put a cam in the top of the groove!" - it's pretty run-out by the time he gets to the sloper and heel-hook!
I love my cams. Last weekend's climbing was a bit rained-upon, so we didn't get as much time on the rock as we'd like, although we managed my partner's first big multi-pitch route (4 pitches, 66m). Then we had a mini-epic on a Severe (not sure if I was off-route, incompetent, my shoes were too damp to grip properly or what), and I took two leader falls above my number 1 Dragon. It held beautifully, although I do have an impressive bruise from where I landed and whacked my leg against my nuts[0].

Oh, and yesterday saw my first lead at F6a+ :-)
