Camalots

Camalots are advanced climbing protection devices used in rock climbing to safeguard against falls. They consist of a set of metal cams attached to a flexible stem and a sling. Climbers place them into cracks or fissures; when weighted, the cams expand outward, gripping the rock securely. This adjustable design allows for a snug fit in various crack sizes, providing reliable protection. Camalots are popular among climbers because they are versatile, easy to place and remove, and offer confidence on challenging routes. Proper use requires understanding crack sizes and placement techniques to ensure safety and stability.
