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.

A Staple For A Standard Rack
The C4 Camalots are a great addition to any rack, especially when just getting started with trad climbing. A smooth and consistent trigger action, ability to hold in a variety of rock, and a years of field testing inspires confidence in these cams. My favorite aspect of these over others is that Black Diamond can resling them when the nylon wears out, so you can continue to safely use them for a decade plus! They are not the lightest cams, but unless you are pushing grade or alpine climbing, you won't notice. These are and will continue to be the foundation of my rack.

Most durable cams
Have been using C4s for years and love how durable they are while being the industry standard for cams. Love the range and the flexible stem. I prefer Z4s till 0. 75s and C4s for bigger cams

A classic
I have a single rack of bd cams with a few other brands thrown into the mix. I rack everything in bd scale to keep it simple. Smooth to place and keeps me safe.

Great Cam. Just what you want and nothing you dont.
Just like the one you've been using for years, but slightly better because it's brand new! Always a high recommendation on these things.
