Hugh Banner Quadcams
Solid strong cams at a good price
By buzzby
Ranked #633 - Big Wall Climbing
June 1, 2006
Hugh Banner went out of business, so you won't be able to find these once they are gone.
The old climbing magazines usually said these were good small cams, with the following caveat: the trigger. If you wanted to ensure that the trigger couldn't accidentally get actuated in the event of a fall, then these would be a good choice. But the single finger trigger and the size of the trigger make them unsuitable for use with gloved hands.
I believe HB cams were as strong or stronger than comparably sized cams from Metolius back in the day, but I am not sure if this has changed.
