Black Diamond Camelot C4-3

Black Diamond Camelot C4-3 5 5 1 1

Brilliant Cams This is the first time I've bought cams, although I've climbed with different makes on a number of occasions. I chose the Black Diamond Camelots mainly because I found the thumb loop easier to use than the bar on the DMM / Wild Country cams, especially as I've used them in Winter as well with big gloves. I bought a range of sizes from 0.75 to 3 and they work brilliantly at the grade I'm climbing at the minute (HS / VS on Peak District Grit mostly). The only improvement I would suggest would be an extendable sling like the DMM Dragons but this is easily solved with a quickdraw. 26 July 2012

Black Diamonds best-selling and most trusted camming device, the Camalots? double-axle design offers a much larger range for each cam unit compared to traditional single-axle units. Because loading forces are shared between both axles, this design has the strength to work as a full-strength cam stop, allowing the cam to function as passive pro if it walks back into a wider part of a crack and umbrellas. In addition, they feature an C-Loop continuous cable stem design that is strong and durable, and they are colour-coded for easy identification. Finally, the triggers and cable loops are easy to grab, and the slings are large enough to manipulate with gloves on.
