Description

Why We Like The Black Diamond Camalot C4:

The Black Diamond Camalot C4 is now lighter and more convenient than ever before. It has been redesigned to be 10% lighter than the previous model, without compromising on strength. The camming angle and placement ranges remain the same, so you can trust it just as much as before. The larger sizes now have stiffer stems, ensuring uniform flex across the line.

Key Features:

  • Best-selling cam with a lighter, more modern design: The Camalot C4 is a trusted and popular choice for climbers. Now it comes in a lighter and more modern design, making it even better.
  • Same camming angle and placement ranges as the previous C4: You can rely on the same reliable performance and versatility as the previous model. The camming angle and placement ranges have not changed.
  • Lighter more sculpted lobes for optimal strength-weight ratio: The lobes of the Camalot C4 have been sculpted to achieve the perfect balance between strength and weight. This ensures optimal performance without unnecessary bulk.
  • Bi-color slings differentiate small and large cams of similar color: The Camalot C4 features bi-color slings that help differentiate between small and large cams that may have similar colors. This makes it easier to quickly identify the right size when you need it.
  • Sizes 4, 5, and 6 cams have trigger keepers to reduce racking volume: With trigger keepers on sizes 4, 5, and 6, you can efficiently reduce racking volume. This helps keep your gear organized and easily accessible when you're out on the wall.
  • Single stem and double axle design doubles as cam stops: The Camalot C4 features a single stem and double axle design, which not only provides excellent camming performance but also doubles as cam stops. This adds an extra layer of versatility to the device.
  • Large thumb loop provides a clip-in point for aid climbing: The Camalot C4 has a large thumb loop that serves as a convenient clip-in point for aid climbing. This makes it easier to move efficiently and securely on the wall.
  • Sling tags tucked under shorter bar-tack for a cleaner look: The sling tags of the Camalot C4 are tucked under shorter bar-tacks, giving it a cleaner and more streamlined appearance. This attention to detail adds to the overall aesthetics of the device.
