CAMP Dyneema Tricams

Climbing > ProtectionRated: ***** by 7 reviews.

Backcountry.com

The Camp Anodized Dyneema Tri-Cam Set beefs up your rack with the four most popular Tri-Cam sizes, so you can protect cracks and pods that other pro can't touch. Tri-Cams use a unique passive-camming design to hold solidly in oddly shaped cracks where traditional cams and stoppers would be useless. They can also be used in a passive form to replace large-size stoppers, so you carry less gear. Color-coded heads and slings make it easy to select the correct size for the crack you're staring at, and the super strong Dyneema slings give you plenty of confidence when you're pitching off 15ft above your gear.

Rock/Creek Outfitters

The Dyneema Tricams by C.A.M.P are an improved version of the classic Tricam.  These essential passive pieces of gear are now stronger, lighter and anodized for the absolute protection when trad climbing.   Their unique design allows them to be used passively and actively in a variety of nonconventional placements.  If you are building your trad rack, you need a set of these for horizontal placements, vertical cracks, or belay anchors.

Tri-Cams and Waterfalls

Rating:*****

I'm sure that you think I climb! I hate to let you down, but I needed the Tri-cams for another purpose. I have a waterfalls going into my swimming pool and the pool cover company wanted to drill 8-10 holes into the pool side through the tile and leave these anchors exposed year round. I used the Tri-Cams to insert in between the rock cracks and they hold just great. No drilling and very secure. Maybe not enough for an Elephant to stand on the cover but enough for me to walk on it. Thanks for a great product.

Good stuff!

Rating:*****

I've only used the smaller sizes and they work great. Easy to learn/use. Fallen on them plenty of times with no negative outcome. Straps can fray over time. Maintenance is as much as you would expect from nuts/hex's but not as expensive as mechanical cams. Will not work for very small cracks, but this set will fill holes from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch. Also sold as singles, check it out.

get the set

Rating:*****

This is a great set if your are just starting traditional climbing and have aspirations of leading. Learn how to use them while setting up top ropes. I love having these things on my rack. They're light, easy to use, and fit where other stuff doesn't

Good

Rating:*****

They have prooved to be very good on the wall, especially where nothing else will fit. I was skeptical about placing them in the begininng but after playing around with them they are a snap!

Buy a carabiner...

Rating:*****

...and put these on it. I can almost guarantee you'll be glad you have them at >80% of your anchor locations. They go where other pro cannot. And with Dyneema, get-out my man.

Great for anchors

Rating:****

Great for anchors--they are solid when placed correctly. Note: If you intend them to be multi-directional--test all directions!
