Winter Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 cams are aid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted February 20, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted February 20, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted February 20, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted February 20, 2004 Share 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.

catbirdseat Posted February 20, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted February 20, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 But don't they look cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toast Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 They look heavy, but I agree with CBS. They'd come in handy as an extra utility piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted February 20, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plexus Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Would be a nice backup for cragging as long as it doesn't weigh 8 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlen Posted February 21, 2004 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
