camming devices

Camming devices are specialized tools used in rock climbing and climbing rescue to secure a climber’s rope in cracks or gaps in the rock. They consist of metal cams with extending lobes that expand when pulled, fitting snugly into the rock’s fissures. When load is applied, the cams lock in place, providing a reliable anchor point. Different sizes are available to suit various crack widths. These devices are essential for safety, enabling climbers to protect themselves during ascent or rescue by creating adjustable, secure placements in challenging rock formations.
