Ditto. I'd start here for sure. I use my #3 quite often (probably 33%-50% of the pitches I climb). If you have it, you'll probably find place to use it.

Now I understand the new terminology. C3 cam series refers to smaller cams. C4 series refer to larger cams. For example a C3, #3 is the large hand/fist size, 3 inches wide.
