Just the old Abalakov cam with a new twist (Abalakov's design which was reportedly "borrowed" by Lowe for their fundamental tricam design). Incidently, Metolious may have "borrowed" from an old Russian design when comming up with their curved hex design. I climbed with an East German on a climbing/bicycle road trip of the western U.S. in 1995 that had some Russian color coded anadized curved hexes that looked almost identical to the new metolious curved hexes. We climbed together for a couple days at Smith. Maybe some of those metolious lurkers were there that day?
