Why We Like The Black Diamond Camalot C4
Lighter and more convenient than ever before, the Black Diamond Camalot C4 brings the muscle without the heft. Coming in 10% lighter than its predecessor, this iteration saves grams without losing strength and maintains the same camming angle and placement ranges we have come to depend on. Giving the larger sizes stiffer stems, Black Diamond has uniformed flex across the line, so the 6 no longer feels wobblier than the 0.3.

The brand that coined the product.
BD makes one of the best Trad gears. It is so much true that in every description of a Trad route the Camelot sizes are used to describe what pieces as needed for protection.

Time for an upgrade, this was an easy choice.
Had a beloved #2 in my rack from the 90s but after using the new camalots with the thumb loop it was an easy decision to retire my old cam to back up status unless the route calls for triples.
