Since their introduction in 1987, Camalots have undergone three generations of refinement, while continuously proving themselves as trusted partners on the racks of climbers worldwide. Their patented double-axle design created a range of placement and strength unequaled by any other camming device—critical advantages that are still preferred 17 years later. This season Black Diamond continues to lead with the introduction of their New Camalots that offer a whole new universe of placement possibilities. Black Diamond has developed new, patent-pending technology in their head designs and cable stems. Black Diamond's new cams offer the greatest opportunity for solid placements by utilizing a larger expansion range. Significantly lighter weights, better flexibility and smooth action make these new camming devices the best protection available. Designed, manufactured and tested at Black Diamond, Camalots just got a whole lot better.
