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.

Ultralight Fat Cam

Description

Experience confident climbing on soft rock with the Metolius Ultralight Fat Cam

Specifically designed for soft rock, the Metolius Ultralight Fat Cam offers enhanced performance and peace of mind during your sandstone adventures. Unlike conventional cams, this cam features longer lobes that provide more surface area, preventing damage to the rock when you take a fall. Despite its generous size, the Ultralight Fat Cam remains lightweight and won't burden your harness. The groundbreaking Direct Axle Technology ensures each lobe is positioned as closely together as possible, facilitating easy placement in tricky and narrow spots.

Constructed with four wide lobes, this cam offers superior grip compared to traditional four-lobed designs. The added benefit of cam stops allows the cam to function passively like a stopper. CNC machining ensures precise craftsmanship, eliminating any fumbling when placing the cam. The U-shaped double stem balances durability and flexibility for optimal control during placements or cleaning by your second. With a color-coded Monster sling for quick identification and the Range Finder for determining the cam's range, this cam is designed to make your climbing experience more efficient and enjoyable.
