Camp Cams with wolf on tag?
|
There's a guy selling cams locally with a wolf on the tag, they say Camp on them and look like DMM's kind of sketchy if you ask me any info? |
|
Wolf on a CAMP tag sounds OK...Camp seems to often sell gear like a distributer for other manufacturers...I have no idea of their cams or who makes their cams now for sale. Maybe they have a deal with DMM? Anybody know more? |

He wants $400 for 1-11 just seems like I could get a set of metolius an not worry about walking or an all out fail of camming on a wall. |
|
The CAMP logo IS a wolf. |
|
11 cams for 400 bucks seems like a great deal to me. For a set c4's including 10 cams back country is asking over 600. all the camp gear I have seems well made I would guess their cams would be also. |

Thanks a bunch everyone. Definitely will post here with future ?'s |

A lot of climbers still use hem but cam s have come a long way since. |

Sorry, yet again this is an awesome, crucial gear item that you can’t buy anywhere anymore for some unknown reason. But you can make one yourself by tying a piece of one-inch webbing with a water knot and sewing some fleece padding to it and sewing the gear section into a tubular shape (this is what I did before I got lucky enough to find one in a store once, years ago), or get one made for you by someone with a bartacker (this is what I keep meaning to do for the people in my Indian Creek Clinics–October folks, it could be you!). Usually I bring: some small to medium nuts and a light nut tool cams from blue Metolius up to 3.5 inch size (I prefer Mastercams for the small ones, and then Powercams because they are the lightest), 1-2 sets biners: everything racked on Moses biners, and 4-6 freebies also slings: at least 6 of the superlight Mammut dyneema Contact slings, all equipped with a free biner 4 light quickdraws with Moses biners 3 ultralight locking biners light belay device on ultralight locker highinfatuation.com/blog/se… Hi Brian, I used to use Camalots almost exclusively. They are bomber and pretty versatile. Then I started using Metolius Power cams, Fat cams and the small Master cams. The Metolius cams are so much lighter, that I had a lot of motivation to switch. The sizing is very very slightly different between the Camalots and Metolius cams–at first this was hard for me to deal with, but now I like the fact that I know and have both available. In general, I’m using the Fat cams at Indian Creek (I love the big surface area, and am willing to sacrifice a little bit of weight for it), and the Power cams for every place else, the reason being that they are slightly lighter and have a narrower head, which is good when the cracks aren’t perfectly parallel for the entire pitch. For sizes 00-1, I really like the Master cams, even more than I liked Aliens which is saying a lot. Above size 2, I find the single stem too hard to manipulate when very pumped, and that’s why I like the Power and Fat cams from the yellow size up. It’s much easier to slam the rounded back against your palm when pumped, and shove it in a crack Steph where the dinos roam ;) |

No I didn't buy them. |

@ChefMattThaner did you read the rest of the test on Moses 'biners? He states that a test of other wiregates from different brands yielded the same results. |
