Why We Like The Black Diamond Camalot C4
Lighter and more convenient than ever before, the Black Diamond Camalot C4 brings the muscle without the heft. Coming in 10% lighter than its predecessor, this iteration saves grams without losing strength and maintains the same camming angle and placement ranges we have come to depend on. Giving the larger sizes stiffer stems, Black Diamond has uniformed flex across the line, so the 6 no longer feels wobblier than the 0.3.

Excellent in the large sizes
I liked the previous generation of C4s but largely switched to DMM and WC out of curiosity. The newest generation C4s don't have the same feel with the stiffer stems and lighter heads. I'm not sure if they'll hold up to 20 years of abuse like the previous generation. Why is this a 5 star review then? Because for Sizes #4 and above the trigger keeper and lighter weight are the best.

Mega Big Protection
What a monster! I'm going to be upset if I think I need it but in the end don't, but stoked if I do!

The Standard
I asked around a lot of friends about what I should be picking up for my first rack. These are the standards for a reason. I did choose these over the altar lights because of how long they will last with the metal wire over Dyneema.

Great piece great price
Super solid gear! I’ve been using my buddy’s bd cams for a bit and I finally bit the bullet and got my own! I’m already used to the BD sizes so I’m stoked to get out and lead with them!!
