NEED ADVICE SHOULD OMEGA LINK CAMS- ARE THEY WORTH THE PRICE?

I will enjoy clipping your fixed link cam. |

These are awesome and certainly have their place. |

I was kinda psyched that I bootied one of these a couple weeks ago. Now I feel like I should climb back up there and re-stick it. |

No mention of metolious supercams yet? |

I agree that they have their place, but I wouldn't buy them. You are buying a piece of protection that is likely going to be in charge of saving your life some day. If you were to say "should I buy this BD cam or Metolius cam" everyone would say that both would be great options. However, I think that having a cam with such mixed reviews and a history for becoming mangled is a pretty big red flag. Again, I know that they have their places for desperation pieces or building anchors, but if I were building a rack or wanted to have a solid dependable piece to take a whipper on, I would stay away. Again, I know that there are a lot of people that have used them and taken falls on them with no problem, but that's kind of a pass-fail approach that just isn't worth it in this case. |

how many folks here actually whip on their link cams a few times? |

Folks used to swear by DDT, then Rachel Carson had to go ruin it for everyone. |
