Metolius Super Cam

The Metolius Supercam fits in a drastically larger range of cracks than normal camming devices. After two years of design and testing, Metolius unveiled an unprecedented asymmetrical design with different sized cam lobes. The smaller lobes rotate faster than the larger ones, allowing a full 270-degree rotation. This lets the Supercam use the normally untouched back side of the cam lobe for a drastically increased range of use. The trigger wires are made of easily replaceable KEVLAR® cord instead of wire, making the individual cam lobes free floating so they conform perfectly to the rock.

Bottom Line: More range means you're more likely to grab the correct cam the first time.

I have all three Metolius Supercams. I dont use them as much as the Master Cams, but do find myself looking for it when they are not on my rack. The range is good, but not as great as they say. They tend to walk a bit more then the Master cams, but do have there place. I find that they go in quick when your in a jam and want a fast protection. Metolius makes a great product and this is one of them.

Cool idea

Great concept but the range isn't all that spectacular. The small size has only a slightly larger range than the #2 Camalot, the medium is about a #3 and the large is about a #4. Another dilemma is that when you fully compress it, the cam lobs are pretty long meaning you need a pretty deep crack. The Super Cams are priced about the same as the Camalots, but they are slightly heavier as well. So between Super Cams and Camalots I'd stick to the C4's, even though these look so much cooler while compressing.

Great Cam!

For some climbs i'll want a lighter rack so i'll replace my 7 and 8 Powercams with a Small of Medium Supercam. This cam has an incredibly large range because of the a-symmetrical shape of the cam itself.
