TimL Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I have to give credit were credit is due. I sent 4 cams backed to Metolius to be re-slung and wired. Sent them on a Tuesday and they returned back to my door the following Thursday. 9 friggin days! Not only are those guys quick, they did an awesome job making my cams look like new. to the Metolius crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonb Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 We were down in Bend over new years and with the crappy snow, by Brother in law called them up and they gave us a guided tour of the facility. Pretty cool. Got to see some of the new products comming out and pet alll the dogs. No free gear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miloshk_Antonopov Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 i am also prefering metolius as my favorite maker of things for climbing although range is sometimes less. i am feeling that to be a climber with many skills one must have or use and have both metolius black diamond and alien sets of cams as they are useful in different situation. i am often finding metolius cam set to provide most useful cams in any size though and am usully choosing this for expedition rack.

PullinFool Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 The metolius cams are bomber - the trigger wires outlast the BD's by a long shot, and long after my Alien's became wet noodles, the Metolius cams were performing well. There is nothing quite like that perfect, easy Alien placement however.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I have a bunch of the Metolius cams and I think they are for sure the worst available. They walk big time, they do not have predictable loading, their cable stems deform (for life), the cams are to close together, the cams are narrow, and a lot of other reasons. Show me a metolius cam that has been on rack for 10+years. My metoluis cams have been booty gear. I would never buy them. They are pretty light though. Good for an alpine route with a long approach where you may or may not need a cam. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracked Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I agree. I like BDs, but they're pricey and heavy. Either way, Metolius sucks. Not like it makes a difference to me, I still suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
