How to Choose How to choose the right Camming Devices There is an endless rack of modern Camming Device s to choose from.
All cams listed in the compare products chart are good, but they excel in different applications.
Material Understanding that the cam of a camming device is made from aluminium is technical, but important. The most significant factor is the harness of the aluminium alloy. The teeth or grooves on a cam help create more friction with the rock by pressing though moisture, lichen, and moss, or grabbing crystals and other crack irregularities. Micro cams usually have minimal texture because, in the smallest sizes, the teeth reduce critical contact area between rock and cam. Every cam above fingertip size, however, should have teeth or grooves.
