Sink The Pink!!! The Pink Tri-Cam Fan Page Whether you love it or hate it, everyone seems to have some strong opinion of our little pink friends. That's right, the size 0.5 Tri-cam from Camp! Personally, I love the little buggers. No climb is complete until you sink the pink. Ode to a Pink Tricam Oh Pink's the one I love to place when I'm alone way up in space on some exposed and airy face. They sink where other gear won't go. When all you've got is manky pro, This tricam saves your butt from woe. But it's often hard to get them out; They make your second moan and shout And wave his nut tool 'round about But that's why you're the one on lead Your problems are a different breed As long as someone does the deed... "Oh quit your whimpering," you rumble, "And get it out or there'll be trouble" "Get to work now, on the double!" Although it sometimes takes a while, They do come out with vim and guile, (or chiselling and curses vile.) Pink will do what all the rest. Won't do when they're put to the test. Oh pink tricams are just the best! -- Charles "Pinky" Danforth

charles,
  i laughed until i cried.  i face a ritual ragging
every time i produce those fantastic pieces of pro. 
but i persevere in singing their praises.  thanks
for providing a good laugh!

I saw this post and had to read
About pink tri-cams used on lead
And know that these were words to heed.

Many climbers seem to crack,
When, seeking pro from off their rack,
And fearing falls with too much slack

Above that last piece placed below.
They wonder how far they will go
And if, perhaps, that piece will blow.

Assuage the doubts that plague your mind
By seeking pink-the tricam kind-
A solid placement you will find

Will lay your falling fears to rest.
Confidence will swell your chest
Still ever upwards towards your quest.

That little pink clipped to your rope
Will often be your only hope
And means by which you just might cope.

Please forgive this little ditty
And mock it not with flaming pity...
It's just that pinks are so damn pretty! 

Rock On!
