The
gold standard for camming units, the Camalots’ double-axle
design allows retraction of larger cam lobes, giving
them a much larger expansion range than traditional
single-axle units. Because loading forces are shared
between both axles, this design has the strength
to work as a full-strength cam stop, allowing the
cam to function as passive pro if it walks back into
a wider part of a crack and umbrellas. This is the
third generation of BD Camalots and they just keep
getting better—they are 30-percent lighter
than the originals, the cable loop and trigger are
easy to grab, and our slings are large enough to
manipulate with gloves.

Tech
Tips
 Camalot Maintenance
By Kolin Powick, Quality Assurance Manager
Keeping your Camalots clean and in optimal condition
is important since they may be the only thing between
you and the deck. So it’s a good idea to periodically
clean your Camalots with a mixture of warm water
and mild detergent. Swish the cam head in this solution
while working the trigger bar and keeping the cam
sling dry. (A stiff bristled brush will help clean
around the springs and inside the cam lobes.) Don’t
use corrosive substances like acetone or petroleum-based
solvents that can cause irreparable damage to webbing
and plastic. Rinse in clean, warm water, shake
off excess water and dry at room temperature. Once
dry, apply your favorite graphite- or silicone-based
lubricant with a long stem applicator. Spray in
and around the head of each camming device, being careful
to NOT get lubricant on the cam lobes themselves. Make
sure to wipe off any excess lubricant. Avoid using
heavy viscosity oils or greases that attract dirt.
Repeat the above steps as often as necessary.
Q.
The axles on my new C4 Camalot seem too long—what’s
up?
A. On your
new C4 Camalots it may appear that the cam axles are longer than you are use
to seeing. This can be noticed by the amount of play, or the amount of side-to-side
movement of the lobes on the axles. The play is there for a reason - to allow
the lobes to move freely during use. This is intentional in the design to allow
the cams to function properly in all conditions.

"So far I used to deal with my 10 year old (Wild
Country-) flexible friends. I just spent my money
on your camelots and I only want to let you know
that they are just unbelievable!!! Their handling
and quality are of a perfect (!) standard. My compliments.
Best regards."

| Some
aspects of mountaineering and related
activities, including but not limited
to technical rock, ice, and snow climbing,
are potentially hazardous and dangerous.
Any person using our equipment in any
manner is personally responsible for
learning the proper techniques involved,
and assumes all risks and accepts full
and complete responsibility for any and
all damages and injury of any kind, including
death, which may result from the use of
any equipment purchased through this catalog.
Books and catalogs like this one can help,
but they are no substitute for personal
instruction by a qualified person well
versed in all appropriate safety techniques. |
| WARNING
: CAMALOTS |
- Flared
cracks, tiny features in the rock and rope
drag are among the many factors that can
affect the security of your Camalot placements.
As with any protection placement, never
trust your life to just one piece of gear.
- Always read the instructions and warnings
that accompany your gear.
