#6 CAMP Tricam
This thing has to be seen to be believed. So much larger than you think it's gonna be. Was able to get it placed really well on fist to offwidth transition sizes the other day, and is bomber as a passive piece in varying, non uniform rock (where a nut can't get good surface contact).
Pros:
- Versatile
- Light
- strong
Cons:
- Bulky
Best Used for:
- Trad climbing
Would recommend: Yes

As a general rule, they are great for
Would recommend: Yes
these little champions...
These little legends fit into all those placements that wont take anything else, such as round pockets, but can also be used passively. Lightweight too.
Would recommend: Yes
