Whereas most of the big
boys
in the climbing industry make
some sort of camming device,
there is generally a fair
degree
of similarity between all the
various designs. However,
with the Link Cam, Omega
Pacific have come up with
something truly unique (and
in fact patented). By splitting
the cam lobes into three
sections, with links in-
between, the range of the
Omega Pacific link
cam far surpasses anything
that can be achieved by a
traditional camming unit. As a
result you can shed weight by
carrying a smaller range of
protection. As an example the
Omega Pacific
Link Cam #1 will cover the
same sort of range as up to
four traditional cams.
An
additional benefit of Omega
Pacific link cams
stems from the fact that the
retracted cam links result in
greater surface contact
between the link cam and the
rock. This causes them
to "walk" less than you might
expect from experience with
other cams.
To help ensure
proper quality control all
Omega Pacific Link Cams are
made in America. |
