rbw1966 Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Check out the new cams from omega pacific. Lots of moving parts to get funked up. Quote
cman Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 looks crazy. if it works well it could be awesome. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 The extra expansion looks like it will work well in a parallel crack, but what about flaring or pod placements? Quote
kurthicks Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 i like the idea that i could "double" my rack by adding three cams. supposedly the 3 OP cams will cover the entire Camalot range. Quote
RuMR Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 it doesn't double your rack...it doubles the range of your rack... Â you gonna lead a 120 foot pitch w/ 3 cams? Or are you gonna take 6???? Â Waste of money if'n you ask me... Quote
kurthicks Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 what i'm saying is that if i might need a duplicate of one piece somewhere along the line, it would be easier/lighter to carry one of these than say 3 or 4 individual cams. Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Seems to me that if you know exactly which cams are needed for the route, there is little need for cams with an unusually large range. It's when you don't have the beta and you are guessing. That's when they would be really nice. Quote
RuMR Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 no...a duplicate piece? That means you need TWO placements...so why not carry two plain old (cheaper, lighter) cams for those two placements... Â Â CBS is right...its only advantage is when you don't know what's coming up... Quote
Toast Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 They look heavy, but I agree with CBS. They'd come in handy as an extra utility piece. Quote
catbirdseat Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 But don't they look cool? If you've got even a little bit of Tim the Toolman in you, you're going to have to put your hands on one of those babies. Arrrrggghhuu! Quote
texplorer Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 These would be good for aiding in situations where you backclean for a long time and want to move fast. Quote
kurthicks Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 They'd come in handy as an extra utility piece. precisely. Quote
plexus Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Would be a nice backup for cragging as long as it doesn't weigh 8 pounds. Quote
arlen Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Heavy, expensive Camalots kick ass because they have a big expansion range, and these wide range cams suck because they might be heavy and expensive. Quote
chumpman Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 just buy the one cam and keep sliding it up as you go... Quote
