Make climbing and placement that much easier with less weight on your rack when you place Metolius's versatile Ultralight TCU.
Make climbing and placement that much easier with less weight on your rack when you place Metolius's versatile Ultralight TCU. During placement and retraction you'll have plenty of control thanks to the U-shaped body while the design's optimized cam angle and direct to the axle technology (DAT) endow it with exceptional holding power.
Traction and Grip:
- Optimized cam angle for more outward force; wider cam faces for more grip; reduces the chance of failure due to rock breakage
Features:
- 13mm Dyneema sling is lighter and less bulky
- Narrow head width for the most placement options; ideal aid climbing piece
- CNC machined 7075 T-6 aluminum with machined cam stops; 25% lighter than older TCUs
- U-shaped body for greater durability and unparalleled control during placement and retraction
- Direct Axle Technology makes Ultralight TCUs lightweight, allows for more placement options, and simplifies tricky placements due to better cam lobe visibility
- Color-coded sewn slings and tubing for fast recognition (#00 Grey, #0 Purple, #1 Blue, #2 Yellow, #3 Orange, #4 Red)
- Follow all manufacturers instructions; strength is dependent on proper placement, rock strength, depth, and direction of fall

Climbers love TCU's for their reduced weight, tenacious grip, and easy placement in cracks, thin seams, and old pin scars. Metolius has maximized holding power in the TCU by optimizing cam angle and widening the cam face for greater surface area. While the range might be lower than other cams, their weight, versatility, and reliable function have earned them a place in most racks. Ranger Finder markings on #2, #3, and #4, tell you at a glance if you've chosen the right size cam for the placement.
