Take advantage of the fact that so many people in squamish seems to have the newest and best gear out there, so if you partner up with someone you can probably get a day's play on some shiny new teeny tiny featherlight cams. Seems like I want a thumb loop then way more than on big gear. Ultralights - fine? Weird to not have a thumb loop on small pieces. want to feel reassured when I'm going above small stuff. That small cam is definitely small, but even in picture perfect placements I had no interest in falling on it. Blue-red seemed to get placed on any pitch when we carried these.ĭragonfly- were brand new but climbed on a set once. Have to buy used.Īliens - really lovely piece to have. Multiple partners during my time, my unsolicited small cam review:Ĭ3 - incredible piece that sinks into pin scars. The C4, kind of should be the best of all of them, but for me misses the mark - long termination, floppy in the large sizes, the cable kinks at the thumbpress crimp, the extra range just isn't that much extra in the small sizes.Spent last summer in squamish climbing all over the Chief. The CCH Version has a wider head.Ĭ3, they are like marmite - either yo'll love them for their extreme narrow head width which is like a get out of jail free card, or you'll hate the odd stem. I prefer them to the Mastercam, which are just a bit funky IMO - I really wanted to like them with the new thumbpress but they didn't feel as nice in the hand.Īlien Revo's, well I don't know what the quality is like, I only ever saw the preproduction samples, but well, its an Alien but narrower. I have the Blue and the Yellow and would possibly do the purple below that. I have some of the original TCU's from 1999 and they still work absolutely fine. The Metolius units are very smooth (as long as you oil them to prevent corrosion) are blindingly light, have good holding power and last for ever and a day. If you can bear a Ladder style stem, Metolius TCU. La loro leggerezza e perfetta se volete completare il vostro set con pezzi di maggiori dimensioni. Lo stelo termina direttamente sulle camme, cosi da eliminare quello spazio vuoto che gli altri friends necessitano. If not, it would have to be Alien Revolutions. I Metolius Ultralight Power Cam sfruttano la Direct Axle Technology che avvicina tra loro i lobi il piu possibile. What's on the market at the moment - Aliens revo's, Alien CCH Alien, Metolius Mastercam, Metolius Ultralight TCU, BD X4, BD C3.įor my money, if it needs to be an Alien style cam, and you can wait for them to restock, Totem Basics.
