mountain-nut wrote:i personally won't buy anything made by climbX. they've blatantly stolen products and ideas from mad rock and other manufactures. and before any of you guys point out that there is a lot of idea "sharing" in the rock climbing industry, climbX was started on the idea that they were going to run mad rock out of business and take over all their products.And How do you think Mad Rock got started?? Ever here of a company called 5.10? Mad Rock split from them too, maybe you should rethink your loyalty??? |

If they didn't have a case why'd Joe fork over $150K? |

I don't suppose you notice the date on Yarp's post? December 2011? |

I'd suck whale boner |

Of course you would. Your'e a Seaman. |

I've been climbing on Rock Empire Flex cams for years and am still kicking. And not those new fangled fancy ones with the milled lobes. Those old ones that were all cast metal! |

ClimbX is a joke. Dont buy their copied garbage. ClimbX stole classified information from Mad Rock and copied their entire product line. What a disgrace. |

Those old ones that were all cast metal!I too have a bundle of Rock Empire cams, various models, starting about 6 years ago. No problems with them, just one busted plastic trigger is all. They perform and you save some money on them direct from supplier. |

Anyone know if they're knocked off CAMP cams, or just relabeled CAMP cams? Not big on the idea of knock offs, but I trust CAMP, and at $35 a pop on the Clymb, it makes a trip to Indian creek seem a lot more feasible. |

Are these going to blow up when they touch rock or is it worth grabbing a couple at <$30/each? Saw some mentions in other threads about Climb-X lacking any sort of certification. |

If you do go down this route, a warning about sizing. I bought a few to play with and check out. Not too impressed. |
