Black diamond cams.

Black diamond also redesigned the tread pattern for a new look to commemorate a brand new generation of camalots. The new redesigned camalot c4 has now upped the ante considering it s 10 lighter yet just as durable as before. Cams with the same color 5 and 5 for example now come with bi color slings for easier identification and the sling s tags are tucked underneath the shorter bar tacks for a cleaner look. The cam s lobes are lighter and more sculpted optimized for strength to weight while the slings have a visual update for easier.

However cams with more flexible stems such as the fixe alien revolution the black diamond x4 and the metolius ultralight mastercam perform much better in horizontal placements. Now 10 lighter these bad boys have eclipsed our classic cornerstone cams and feature a more modern design that gives climbers everything they love about the old camalots but add new touch points like a wider trigger for easier handling and our innovative trigger keeper for compact racking with sizes 4 5 6. Plus it features a modern design that improves on the old tried and true camalots. The more rigid stem of the c4 is more prone to damage when you whip on them in horizontal slots as the less flexible stem will bend under stress and won t be able to.
