Imagine
having a single SLCD with an expansion range
equal to 3-5 of your current cams. Just
what you want when you are pumped at the
crux or not sure what to rack up with for
that next back country route.
This new invention of Greg Lowe's (LoweCams,
TriCams and a ton of other neat hardware)
is based on the proven single axle, constant
13.5 degree cam for optimum placement strength
and reliability. With Greg's LINK CAM design
each individual cam lobe is comprised of
3 segments or links - inner, middle and
outer. Which link engages with the rock
depends on the size of the crack... retract
all the way and the inner link supports
the load. When placed with the middle or
inner link engaged, the outer link(s) serve
as "outriggers" reducing the potential
for your LINK CAM to "walk" deeper
in the crack or out of place. Nice. LINKS
conform better to flared cracks and pockets
too - again due to their awesome expansion
range of each trio of "links".
Inner two cam segments are metal injection
molded 17-4 stainless steel for strength
and durability, outer links are anodized
7000 series aluminum for lightness and quick
i.d. Fitted with plastic sheathed trigger
control wires and a 4" Dyneema sling.
