Metolius Ultralight TCU Packaged Set

Using Direct Axle Technology, Metolius removed every unneeded scrap of material from the Ultralight TCU to make it as lightweight as possible while still maintaining the ultra-strong construction that Metolius is known for. Then they piled every size from 00 to 4 into this package to create an excellent thin-crack set. The TCU's narrow head profile combined with the three-cam arrangement allows these Metolius cams to fit into very small pockets. Once they're in, the range finder tells you if your placement is good—or not so good. Spectra slings lighten these cams even further. After all, your gear is suppose to help you go up, not hold you down. Metolius even includes a bottle of cam lube to help keep this set in smooth working order.

Bottom Line: Get six of the amazingly light and strong TCUs in the Metolius Ultralight TCU Packaged Set.

Awesomely tiny

Great thin cams, really really lightweight too. For cams of this size I like the metolius trigger mechanism better than the BD. My only issue is with the range finder, which places overcamming in the "green" range.

Great Light Cams

By:

These cams are great when the protection gets thin. I think the range finder stuff seems kind of gimmicky, and I don't really use it that much in all honesty. Some people complain that the three lobes allow the cams to walk more than others, but with proper sling lengths, I have never had any problem with this at all. Compared to the C4's I bought at the same time, these show so much less wear, but not because they have been used less. They just seem much more rugged than any other cam I've used.

The sickness

When they said Utralight they meant it. These TCUs have made racking gear on my harness easier and less bulky. The safety markings gave my girlfriend an extra sense of security on her first trad lead. Great product at a great price!

Love the TCU's

By:

These were the perfect addition to my rack. All I had for small cracks were BD Stoppers, which have worked well for me, but I needed a more versatile piece of equipment for the hard to fit cracks. These have been perfect for the thin Little Cottonwood cracks we've all grown to love. TCU's are very smooth to place and smooth to clean. I recommend them for anybody's rack.

feather weight

When they say ultralight, they mean it! They feel about as heavy as my small stoppers.

Ultralight TCU's

By:
March 17, 2006

I replaced my Aliens with the new TCU's. Now I have 6 pieces that weight less then my 5 aliens and fit better with my DMM cams. It is great that the thinner connection lets you really see your placement. I can also rack as many on a ‘biner as I could aliens because the slings are much thinner then the old version. They're awesome.
