Climbing Cam Devices: For Portable Belaying

Choose climbing cams based on your plans and the demands of the route. Portable protection is selected according to rock type, crack shape, and route. Cam wedges and cam devices function differently and require experience when placing them. Having a suitable size range is more important than having a random assortment of individual pieces. Compare the intended use and how they handle on your harness. The quality of a placement cannot be determined solely by the size or appearance of a device.

Chocks: Selection Criteria

• Sizes: Assemble a set of sizes based on route information and the gear you already have. Clarify any questions using the specific product information.
• Design: Distinguish between passive wedges and active chocks. Include your existing gear in the comparison.
• Handling: Check operation and organization on the gear loops. Test the handling before first use, if possible.
• Practical Use: Learn how to assess and place them under expert guidance. Compare the options for your specific planned use.

Carefully Select Your Climbing Gear

Select climbing gear based on the specific discipline you plan to pursue. Indoor climbing, sport climbing on rock, and alpine routes each have different requirements. Read the instructions for each category and factor in your existing gear when making your selection. Keep important product information on hand. The first time you use a new piece of safety equipment, do so under expert supervision before it becomes part of your regular climbing gear.
