robpatterson5 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Wondering what people think of the Red (#1) C4 vs the Green (#6) MasterCam. I'm not the biggest fan of the Green PowerCam but love the Master Cams up to black (.75) - thinking of getting a green Mastercam to replace a red C4. Any thoughts?

layton Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 i believe red has a larger range and is lighter...don't really know why you'd get a mastercam above the orange size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodestone Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I don't like the floppy-ness of the larger Master Cams. I use my red C4 quite a bit and have no complaints. Why are you wanting to replace your red C4? Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robpatterson5 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Well I climb a fair bit of limestone and like the holding power, also occasionally there are narrow pockets where something narrow sometimes fits better - I agree though, C4s form red on up are pretty awesome. Just wondering if the 1in MasterCam has any advantages, besides the smaller ones (incl black) are really truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanb Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I can think of specific placements where the narrower head width on the black master cam (or orange alien when my fiance lets me borrow it) are an advantage over the .75 Camelot (pockets like the ones early on left ski track at jtree) and I routinely carry both when carrying doubles in that size but I haven't felt the same need in any of the larger sizes.

I know some don't like them but they were pretty much MADE by guys who climb limestone. They now ship from OR via UPS so no month long wait anymore. I like them. The Largest Red one is nearly the same size as the Red C4 and has a more narrow head width.

eldiente Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The Master cam is a nice in the smaller sizes but I'd rather have BD in any size above .75 (Green BD) The stems on the larger Master Cams feel too soft, plus the #1 BD feels seems to never wear-out. -Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
