The comment about holding power of cams in a flare is not correct at all. It's true for all regular cams but not for Totem Cams. For Totem Cams the equivalent cam angle (we would use simply "cam angle" for regular cams) is about 13 degrees in a parallel crack, and it grows until 20.35 degrees when the flare is 40.7 degrees. I have uploaded a paper to our web site showing some mathematics of regular cams and Totem Cams in parallel and flared cracks. http://www.totemcams.com/...es/IndarEbazpena.pdf
