When is weight never an issue for climbers? Well, Black Diamond have really helped out with their Camalot Ultralights which give around a 25% weight saving over the standard Camalot. How have they managed this amazing feat?
Sculpted cam lobes account for a portion of the weight savings as does a Dyneema sling, but the real secret is that the Camalot Ultralight features Dyneema cord in place of steel cable, giving similar strength ratings with a huge weight reduction.
Add to that, really super handling and a silky smooth action, and we predict these cams will be at the top of any trad climber's Christmas list for years to come!
Other, than that, they are identical to standard Camalots in size range and colour so that mix and matching is perfectly possible and, as with standard Camalots, a double-axle design allows for the widest placement range possible for each camming device.
- Double-axle design offers widest range for each cam unit.
- Dyneema core stem design is strong, durable and low-profile.
- 14mm dyneema tape sling.
- Ergonomically optimized stem and thumb loop for surgically precision placements.
- Colour-coded for easy identification and wide range of sizes.
