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.

They're the standard for a reason
The title says it all. I use BD's C4s for work and play and they have never failed to get the job done and look good doing it. Smooth triggers and flexible stems make them my preferred cam.

BD Cams!
The cams caught my whip. 5 stars. It’s easy to see why the BD cams are the industry standard. Light, easy to use, and reliable. Bought a half rack and feeling very good about the purchase. Excited to do more trad routes with a full rack soon.

Bring the Crack
Perfect addition to my first trad rack. Comfort level increase. I had to #3 but the #4 was needed for additional options. Hoping to lead a lot more and add a second rack.

Rack'em Up!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- #0-#6
So far the best active camming protection I've use. I remember when the first Wild Country Friends came out and just retired a bunch of them to shadow box museum pieces on the bathroom wall when my wife finally gave me the hall pass to update the rack. I had pieces from all sorts of manufactures, but the pieces I always reached for first were the BD Camalots. Now the entire rack is BD and BA with 3x pieces #0 to #4 with a few 5's and 6's too! Thanks Sweetheart!!!
