They work pretty well on routes up to 5.5. After that, you won't like it much.

I have one sitting on the book shelf as a decorative piece. I've never place it. According to Camp, the #7's useful range is 3.62 to 5.51 ins.. It weighs 9.31 oz.. If you tuck the sling in between the cam rails it is not as bulky to carry as a BD #6 cam.

I like to call that one the "dog killer". The next one down is the "cat killer".

Useful for self-defense. Not so useful for climbing. Don't waste your money, buy a proper cam instead.

best if stacked with a number 6

I carry a #5, #6, and #7 in the pack and take them on the climb if I know I need wide stuff. (The #5 most of the time.)

Assuming you know how to place them and don't try to kick it while climbing by, they're great. They weigh quite a bit less than a comparable SLCD which counts for a lot with gear this big.

I've used the #7 and #6 almost always as anchor pieces. How big is it? Pretty sure CAMP's website has the dimensions. While on approach, clipping the sling and one of the cross pieces keeps it nice an tidy.

Might as well get a #6 while your at it.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
