They even look better than Aliens....I was climbing with some dudes in the valley this spring, one of whom was designing these. I wasn't suppose to be saying anything, and it's been hard watching those GD Aliens fall apart and not say something like: "just hold on on buying C3's and Aliens cause the Metolious will blow em away." (or at least not fall apart like the CCH)

 

Bring em on!

 

BTW, anyone want to get in the betting pool on how long till CCH closes shop? Unless they come up with some new design. Didn't they come out with Big Bros originally too?

"Say hello to the Master Cam, Metolius’ new single stem cam. First a couple of answers to the folks asking: The lobes are made of 7075 aluminum, they are the same sizes as Metolius TCU’s and Power Cams, and as a result have the same cam angle. They are available in sizes #00-#6, and are narrower (or at least look) than Aliens.

 

They have a milled aluminum trigger assembly held together with two thin steel cables (see the center pictures) rather than the metal sheath that the Aliens have. Don’t despair, though, they still flex really well, especially in vertical placements. Flush ends, Kevlar trigger cord, and a molded thumb grip finish them off. Expect to see some changes before they hit the stores in the Spring of next year. They retail at $54.95, except the two largest sizes, which retail at $59.95."
