Not as durable

By Evan Stevens Ranked #1 - Big Wall Climbing February 2, 2009

Well, I have had some of these on my rack for a bit, and truth be told, they do not hold up in the long run. Granted I am hard on gear. From April 15th to Dec 1st I am usually climbing and guiding 5 days a week, and I love hard trad. I take alot of falls on my gear, and after 1 or 2 falls most of my ultralights have become tweaked, bent and lobes abused to the point where the cam isn't quite that functional anymore. My camalots seem to hold up to the abuse WAY better. Yes these units are lighter, but in my mind it is not worth it when you are spending this much money. Also sizes larger than green tend to walk a fair bit in cracks. Just my 2 cents
