    What is your opinion on these after climbing with them? Interested in if they seem heavy, walk at all, hold well, are easy to place especially at range limits, any other details you have. Cheers!

  • @user-dg5ng6xx3j

    unfortunately, small sizes of Z4 (those with one axis) have the risk of one pair of cams rotating, which makes it impossible to embed them in the rock; this problem does not occur in small X4 and other microcams; this is a serious problem (obviously a design problem), but it can be fixed with home methods;

    Howamy LRS routes you did with a Revo? Did you use modifocation as are some tutorials on YT? Did you fall with a Revo?

      I’ve done a few rope solos whenever I wanna do something alone. Did a bunch of fall tests in the gym with a buddy to get used to the later-than-usual fall assist. It works, just requires more momentum than a grigri to activate.

    Can also just extend with a small sling, which is a simpler peice of kit to be carrying. And or, use leg loop for prussic to create distance.

      I don’t do anything hardcore enough to need the ultralightness, but it’s good! The price is difficult to justify if you have a harness that works well already.

    any insight as to why they made the .75 z4 so long?? its seriously almost as long as a #2 #3 c4s. i feel like if it was shorter it wouldn't be so wobbly cause the head of the cam is so heavy. not that heavy but ya.

      It is litteraly just a log with an eye bolt in the top and then a 3/4 hold drilled in at like a 45 degree angle

    I really like passive cams. Hex, off set nuts and abalaks (rock empire and kouba) and tricams are some of my favourite gear. Mostly use nuts and adalaks as find the price to protection ratio is amazing. There is a time and place for active cams and they can be amazing but I would climb with out them. I always have a full set of nuts and offsets and adalaks when I arrive for a climbing session.

  • @thecruxism
    @thecruxism 3 роки тому

    make sure you place the outer cam lobes facing down when you are placing pro horizontally. What was the point of the nest of cams if they are not equalized? (the gray one was overcammed anyways)

    @libertine5606 3 роки тому

    Laybacking is the technique of no technique. A good handjam and getting over your feet in a stem would have taken the weight off your arms. It would also give you the ability to see the placement of those cams. When things become dire that can give you the confidence to know your gear is bomber.

  • @axloth

    Hi, does the Supercam have bigger range than comparable size dual-axel cam in practice? Like this vs grey BD C4? thanks

    • @gearaddictclimber2524
      @gearaddictclimber2524 2 місяці тому

      Yes. That’s the whole point is they have considerably greater range than the BD equivalents, thus making them more versatile, at least in concept.

  • @JustinWallace
    @JustinWallace 3 роки тому

    I’d be very hesitant to use these cams passively. Cam stops don’t always mean passive use. For example some of the black diamond C3 and metolius master cams have cam stops but are not intended to be used as passive pro. Trango doesn’t seem to mention that their cam is rated to be used passively in the product manual. For me the sure way to tell if a cam is rated for passive placements is if it has double axles. Anyway who cares, don’t think I’ve used a cam passively once and I’m sure I’m not alone.

  • @JustinWallace
    @JustinWallace 3 роки тому

    A fun challenge is always to climb with just passive pro if you haven’t already. I also like to challenge myself when it’s comes to anchor material. You can get real creative when it comes to minimal gear material efficiency anchors. Try doing some easy multi pitch with only single length slings so no quads or doubles for anchors it’s definitely doable.
