Why We Like The Black Diamond Camalot Ultralight
We love that Black Diamond shaved a quarter of the weight off its best-selling camming device to make the Camalot Ultralight more appropriate for long approaches and alpine climbing. A critical glance will show that each cam weighs a couple ounces less than its appropriately sized C4 counterpart, and although that doesn't seem like much, when you're hauling three number threes up Castleton's North Face, numerous threes and fours for Lone Peak's Hyperform, or a desert rack up Washer Woman, these ultralight beauties really make a world of difference.
Black Diamond achieved a lighter weight out of the already light C4 by replacing the stem with continuous Dyneema rope infused in plastic. Black Diamond also optimized the stem and thumb loop to enhance ergonomics while placing and cleaning. But the double-axle design for passive placements, as well as the color-coded design, Black Diamond left unchanged, because if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The best in the biz!!
I've been a climber since the late 90's and I've seen many iterations of Camalot. BD continues to improve, with design & function year after year. Truly the vanguard of innovation. I love my Black Diamond equipment and wouldn't have it any other way!

Must have
UL cams are absolute must haves for any long trad climbing mission or difficult single pitch trad climbs. When the climbing gets long or hard, these are always on the rack.

Ultralight >>>> everything !
I absolutely love these cams. I own the old non-ultralight versions & the weight difference on a full rack is noticeable. If you’re debating between the two- go with these! The price increase is worth it in my opinion.

Love my new Ultralight #4 Camalot
Glad to replace my old #4 with this cam that seems about half the weight. I've been slowly replacing my old camalots with the ultralight version. Sure do wish the 3-1/2 would be released as ultralight. . .

A Weight difference you can feel
Upgrading to ultralight cams from my previous 2015 C4 cams is huge difference in weight. Looking forward to feeling lighter for some big alpine days.

Noticeably lighter
Great cams that live up to the name. I get that the expiration date could scare people but if you use them lots it’s well worth the upgrade from the normal ones.

So great for alpine, or anything steep
Just got back from an alpine trip in Switzerland. The ultralights size 2 and 3 came on every route and excelled. #4 on selected routes. Barely noticeable in the pack on the approach, or on the harness. Seems like they have not caught on so much in Europe - my Swiss guide partner was wowed. We had to leave 2 behind on a rappel misadventure. Came home and immediately replaced! Durability seems acceptable despite the lighter construction

Light
Worth the extra dough if you need the weight savings.
