Description

Lighten your rack on your next Indian Creek splitter.

Metolius decreased the original Fat Cam's weight by up to 20% to create the Ultralight model of this one-and-only soft-rock-specific camming device. The Ultralight Fat Cams still have the same wide-faced lobes for increased holding power in soft rock and burly cam stops for wide passive placements.
  • Extra-wide cam lobes increase surface area for better bite in soft rock
  • Minimalist design and CNC machining reduces weight to the minimum
  • Color-coded Dyneema slings cut down weight and bulk without sacrificing strength
  • Cam stops add strength to tipped-out placements
  • See sizing chart for specifics on range, strength, and weight
  • Made, inspected, and proof-tested in Bend, Oregon

The extra cam surface on these is awesome for for soft desert sandstone. They are stiff and easy to place and provide extra peace of mind when he ground is just one fall away.

This is a great cam design, plain and simple. The lobes are nice and stiff, and it feels totally secure. So much of trad is about being confident in your placements, and these cams allow you to be just that. Do yourself a favor, pick one up, and try it out. You won't regret it.

I'm buying cams, can I use these instead...

I'm buying cams, can I use these instead of the big heavy black diamond cams -3 thru 3?

Yes. Metolius makes good cams. BDs are good too, just personal preference.

I've found that the Black Diamond C4's are better in the larger sizes (.75-3). These are good small cams, though.

These are now my gear of choice for Indian Creek and desert splitters. I used to use mostly Camalots, but they are comparatively much heavier than these fat cams. When you end up with a rack of 10-15 cams, the weight difference matters a lot.

These things have nice action, they're light, and the extra-big surface area is very confidence inspiring. I especially like the orange one, my rattly fingers size.

The best cam for any desert splitters!! Don't be turned off by the weight, they add only a small margin of weight for a huge gain in holding power. Order a few, take them to the desert, then come home and buy more... If you love sand stone and bomber placements, you will love these.
