What do you consider as essential for a beginners rack for:<br />
1) Cragging<br />
2) Multipitch routes<br />
<br />
For example what sizes hexs would you purchase? If you were going to buy friends (Cams) what sizes would you purchase for a beginners rack.<br />
<br />
Any help much appreciated.<br />
