First three sizes on my rack. Love them so much that I don't mind cleaning them though they are pretty burly to get out at times.

Took my first trad lead fall on a no. 2 friend and it held. That being said now leads me to say that I love these cams. They are easy to place and less bulky than my camalots by bd. I have a very varied rack and I like my tech friends more and more. I can't lie. I love all my cams for their features.

Great cams and place well. My only complaint is that it seems I have to lube them up more than my other cams. Curiously they seem to stiffen up more often.

Good idea, but it seems that it's not great to use. I've used one and it just seems like the swingarm is a little loose, causing it hard to get the draw on the bolt and then to get the squid off of the now clipped draw. It'd be a lot better to just make a stick clip or use a stick at the crag.

I had used other people's aliens to supplement my rack in the small sizes. Finally.. Finally I have my own Aliens. They are amazing cams.
