Excellent rack filler

By Jim J. Ranked #15 - Big Wall Climbing December 21, 2006

I have sets of Friends, Metolius ultralights and a few smaller C3's and wanted to fill out my rack with a modern set, and the .5-3 C4 combo pack was perfect. The smaller C4's are about as useful as you could ask for, beautifully made and possessing the largest range of any conventional cams I know of, however, even the size 3 has a tendency to walk a little more than I like. They can be placed with good stability but it takes a little more futzing than with Friends or the Metolius cams....don't know why unless it's the double pivot design which is responsible for the wider range. At any rate, these are top notch and recommended highly up to size 2. Above size 2 they are still usefull but I think there might be better choices in larger cams.
