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.
