Experience Lightweight Trad Climbing with the Ultralight Power Cam Packaged Sets
Rack up with the Metolius Ultralight Power Cam Packaged Sets and embark on a journey of lightweight trad climbing like never before. These cam sets are designed to offer exceptional performance while keeping weight to a minimum. Whether you choose the package with sizes 1-4 for smaller hand-sized cams or sizes 5-8 for larger cams, you can expect the same level of efficiency and reliability.
The secret to their ultralight appeal lies in the innovative Direct Axle Technology. This advanced design brings the lobes closer to each other, making the cams exceptionally compact and lightweight. It also ensures effortless placement in tricky, shallow, and narrow cracks, providing you with a seamless climbing experience.
Metolius has equipped each cam with four wide lobes that significantly enhance grip on the rock compared to conventional designs. Additionally, each lobe features a cam stop that adds passive stopping power. This means you can trust the cam to hold securely in place, giving you peace of mind during your climb.
Thanks to precision CNC machining, these cams offer superior accuracy and reliability. You can confidently place them without any fumbling or uncertainty, allowing you to focus on your ascent. The U-shaped double stem adds to the durability of the cams while offering impressive flexibility for optimal control during placement or when your partner is cleaning the gear.
To simplify your gear organization, each cam comes with a color-coded Monster sling. This makes it easier to identify the cams while you're on the wall, saving you valuable time and energy. Additionally, sizes 2 - 8 feature a Range Finder, which indicates whether your placement is at the minimum or maximum range available on the cam, ensuring you make informed decisions during your climb.
