Tools for rock climbing
Tricam for free climbing, size 0.5 , with sling.
Patented camming unit that utilizes the superior strength and stability of the tripod. The versatile design allows for use in cammed and chocked positions. Great for pockets, horizontal cracks and other unconventional placements.
11 sizes to fit cracks and pockets ranging from 16 to 92 mm. Color coded for easy identification. First four sizes (0.5 - 2.0) available pre-packed for a discount. First four sizes are now also available with anodized heads and colored Dyneema webbing to increase strength and durability (available pre-packed or sold individually).
Since their introduction to the market over twenty years ago, tricams have been a standard on American trad racks. They really are the most versatile piece of rock pro on the planet.
  • Two placement modes: active cam and passive chock
  • Works where nothing else can fit, such as solution pockets
  • Excellent in horizontal cracks
  • Updated for 2013, with stiffer sewing on the slings of sizes 0.125 – 2.0 for easier one-handed placement and extraction

Look on the rack of most experienced trad climbers and you are almost certain to see an assortment of Tricams. Most climbers agree that visiting the Gunks without multiples of pink through purple is a serious mistake. These wondrous pieces of pro can be used either as cams or nuts and often work where nothing else fits. Tricams are ideal in horizontal cracks, pockets, and shallow vertical cracks. The larger sizes are an affordable way to augment a rack of cams and are ideal for belay anchors due to their high strength and light weight. Tricams can also be placed in icy cracks where regular cams do not work. Updated for 2013! Our engineers recently spent some time working on one of the age- old questions with the Tricam ... how to stiffen the sling without impeding its ability to engage the camming action. After much experimenting, we rested on the simple solution of carrying the inner band of webbing further towards the head and using a new stitch pattern. The result is a naturally stiffer sling that makes one-handed placements easier, but still engages the cam in active mode and will even increase durability over sharp edges with the additional layer of material.

 

 

Chocks are the friends who follows us everywhere, from cracks to holes where it's difficult to  provide a safeguard. C.A.M.P. offers a wide range of devices which give safety in all situations. Tricam can be compared to good wine, as time passes, their taste improves and of course we  cannot do without them while climbing rocks. CASSIN Half-moons have a new round-shaped design  which allows users to perfectly position them. These products, if combined with a Nano 23 carabiner  and hung on your harness, are lightweight sets will make your progress easier.
