By Dow Williams Ranked #86 - Big Wall Climbing April 8, 2009

Know how to place them, know their range. I had a partner who stuck the #2 in a .5" crack. Yes, they cam down to their core, but you will not get them out. Just like all cams, you stick them that tight, they are not safe pro either. Know their range. They now have a .75 and .5. That .5 is excellent for a variable piece to supplement your .3, .4 and .5. This will end up being one of the most used pieces on my rack as I don't always carry double those sizes.

At first I didn't grasp the concept and what they were trying to achieve. As mostly a technical alpine climber, I saw the cams as too heavy which offset the range advantage. But as I came to understood they were only going to make a few as truly a supplement to your rack, I got it. Very nice. I reach for them all the time. Really solid product, actually allows you to take less into the backcountry at the end of the day.
