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.

Beautiful Cam!
Beautiful cam! Was already able to find a placement for it. It is a tad bit more flimsy than some of my smaller cams, but to be expected with his huge size! Still recommend.

Camalot
Wow I have been climbing for decades and I started using SLCDs when BD just put them out. They freaking worked well then and the super set I just purchased are amazing in how they feel in the hand to intuitive placements. Another fantastic feature is the color coding which finding the right cam is to easy. I suspect I will be using these Camalots probably for the rest of my climbing life.

Cams
I decided to replace my current set of BD cams with a newer set. My old cams were hand me downs and had served me well however it was time to make the purchase. I did not regret the purchase decision. Great, reliable, proven set of cams.

Just the best
No much to say, I have been using the camalots for many years. The best active protection in my opinion.

The standard for a reason
I run doubles of c4s on my rack and have singles 4-6. Every climber is comfortable with them. They last forever and keep you safe. Just got a 6 for off width sufferfests.

Great cams
All my cams are C4/Z4 cams and they get the job done well. Well designed and easy to place, and the stowing hooks on the larger vans are a nice touch.

#2 added to the rack
I just purchased the first few pieces of gear for my mega rack (one day these pieces will all be welded in the walls of el cap) Don’t really know how to use this thing or what it does, but it’s really shiny right now so I think i’ll probably just leave it on my shelf for a few years so I don’t scratch it up.
