Climbers protect the rock climbs in various ways, the methods most commonly used, either with screws that are permanently drilled into the rock and use it for other climbers there, or routes with a variety of materials protected by the escalation ( “protection”), the situation is removed in the rocks by the lead climber, and other team members, they follow the ascent.

This protection is mainly composed of wheel chocks metal alloy, which are loaded into cracks or stenoses in the spring camming devices the advantage that they often parallel-sided and slightly flared cracks, pockets and fractures.

Camming Devices climbing revolution as the “original Friends” were introduced in 1978, climbers travel options that were previously trying too bold and serious. Cams evolved over the past 32 years and there are now two major categories, cams small and micro-businesses that extend the range between 10mm and 30mm cams and regular from 25mm to 170mm at the end.

For larger spaces cam cam key criteria, weight and angle cam, among others, small cam, ideally require different performance characteristics. CAM stations are often small, shallow and do not allow the cam stem cells for possible therefore recommends that the stem cells must be very flexible to avoid in all directions and rotated from the position under load.

Besides the courses are often so narrow that the minimum width of the head is desirable.

These two factors lead to two different versions of favor. The most popular design is largely based on a single rod design with a narrow head. This type of device has 4 cams with 2 lobes each side of the stem and maximum flexibility at the expense of slightly increased width of the face.

The second approach uses only three cams mounted in a handle U-shaped This concept is defined as one TCU (Three Cam Unit) may be very narrow head and a wide range of risks less flexible than stem cells in the vertical jumps.

Small Cams

1. CCH Aliens

Foreigners are characterized by a relatively large margin of more efficient units of micro-cam on the market.

They do this through the combination that is very flexible in all axes, narrow head width, soft curves cam alloy with a great attitude and a very innovative design, the trigger works properly and is very durable. Everyone is very desirable, even necessary, provides that a micro-cam.

Aliens first advantage comes with an alloy of aluminum and a lesser degree angle cam sixteen hours on their cameras, cameras with most other hard 7075-T6 with a degree cam angle 13.75 is smaller domain to use.

The webcams are also internal sources, which gives them a very narrow head width.

The trigger / Voice stabilization mechanism, where most units of compromise, but strangers to great solution to use a sleeve of braided steel trigger, floating on the functions of stem wire. This is sustainable, protect the cable release, and does not restrict the flexibility not.

Units are color coded for easy identification and has a high trigger a loop for easy use and to reduce aid to climbing.

The only driver to this suggestion is that he led a period of uneven quality of their production to break into several units as part of specific assets. This seems to be sorted and hopefully cam foreigners in its entirety to its status as the best breakfast.

The aliens blue, green and yellow are the key issues of any climbers rack of equipment has occurred.

2. Master Cam Metolius, Oregon

A good alternative abroad by Metolius, Oregon CAM specialists.

The master cam with a single trunk four cameras, which are very flexible and has a narrow head width. The stem design is not as good as Alien limit as a trigger for Flexible light guide in a horizontal position, but it is very low.

The devices camming in this area is somewhat less than foreigners, to use a smaller cam angle, but the valve should be more sustainable because they are made of a stiffer aluminum 7075-T6.

Units are color coded for easy identification and has a high trigger a loop for easy use and to reduce aid to climbing.

Metolius, Oregon Another small gripe that a carbon rather than end stainless steel head, and used, it is likely to be too fast in salty conditions, ie when climbing on rocks .

A major advantage compared to foreign Mastercam is that both the CE and UIAA testing standards. The units are of high quality.

3. Wild Country Zero Cams

Wild Country Zeros created quite a stir when they were introduced, but not really. There were several reasons – the original units are the tribes that were too short, the son of trigger does not work as smooth as the competition, and they were on the high side of prices.

The tribes are a few more years and although the change is made, it was a really good unit. Their performance is very similar to the Metolius Master Cams, Oregon – Cam lobe CAM equipment and angles are similar.

The trigger mechanism is a little tricky because of long cables that meet these leaders, rub them, but the whole operation takes effect.

The zeros are slightly lower than the control cams have doubled, but a Dyneema sling, which can prolong the locations climbers, weight gain and pull quickly.

The smallest zero is the smallest camera on the market.

4. Black Diamond C3

Camalot C4 cams are very good and currently the most popular cam traditional, but compared to their smaller partners, the C3 three cams are relatively disappointing.

The units look great and work well, but generally not as good as the 3 units up.

The main advantage is the very limited width of the head, but because they use a rod with a striped design juicy piece of plastic is flexibility in the vertical positions risk being hedged.
