I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Camalot Z4 Offset

Camalot Z4 Offset

Description

The Camalot Z4 Offset Black Diamond sets a new standard for camming devices with its advanced features and innovative design. Built on the legacy of the original Camalot, this model is the result of years of expertise and collaboration with top trad athletes.

Specifically designed for smaller cracks, such as the splitters in Indian Creek or for fast and light climbing in the Bugaboos, the Z4 is perfect for tackling irregular cracks, flares, and pin scars. With the Z4, you can now confidently place a single-stemmed camming device without worrying about the stem bending over. Each size of the Z4 offers consistent performance and flexibility.

The Z4 features narrower heads compared to previous Camalots, making them easier to place and clean in tighter constrictions. The lobes have been sandblasted to provide better holding power, ensuring reliable protection on your climbs. Additionally, the Z4 comes with a new, durable Dynex sling, available in a unique colorway that makes it easy to identify among older Camalots in your rack.
