Has it occurred to you that every product has limitations and that BD camashits have more than most Cams?

youre kidding, right?

Nope I think i detailed the limitations pretty well above..

right after i clicked post reply i realized you wouldnt catch the sarcasm. sorry about that.

look, you want to debate the limitations of gear with me, thats fine, but quit calling them camashits. thats immature at best and all its doing is making you look like a fool who doesnt know anything about gear, which i suspect may not be the case, but i cant be sure at the moment.

i'd love to know where your deep rooted hatred of the camalot comes from- did you have a rash of camalot placement failures or something? seriously- ive only met one or two people that dont care for camalots, which more about cam angle than anything, the rest love them or like them enough for them to be the backbone of their rack.

Oh it's not really a hatred.. i'll use one if someone brings one along and I have no other handy alternative.

But i do not trust them as much as most..

IMO one of the best selling cam on the market is about the worst one in marginal placements.

reality is most climbers have not used a wide vairiety of cams repeatedly in a wide variety of circumstances..thus less experienced climbers tend to be conned by the concept of greater range and greater absolute breaking strength.. so they often buy camashits first when they have incomplete racks. .. hey they work so years later they still have em and recall their first cams with affection... while in reality they bought an inferior product due to lack of experience in what matters most in use.

The Camalot is a fairly crappy cam in comparison to many other readily available alternatives.

If i have a hatred for it .. it is basically this.. it perhaps the most popular cam and it is generally the worst cam and most expensive...

My inate sense of fairness just fucking hates shit like that.
