Product Details
Description:
Conceptualized by the legendary Greg Lowe, Omega Pacific's revolutionary new Link Cams operate on a simple design that permits an amazing range for a unit of its size. With a camming ratio of over 2.5 to 1, Link Cams cover a range of up to four times the range of other cams on the market!

Features:

  • Leave the ground with fewer pieces on your rack thanks to the incredible range provided by the trisected and linked cam lobe as it retracts and unfolds
  • You'll have a more secure placement due to the increased surface contact between the retracted cam and rock, meaning that these cams will "walk" less
  • Rely on the strength of machined parts with detailed precision pieces created with Omega Pacific's Metal-Injection-Molding process
  • Eliminate the need for offset cams in flared cracks with the extensive range and 13.5-degree cam angle that doesn't sacrifice holding power
  • Summer 2009

Specifications:

  • Range (mm): 13.5-35 (size .5, Purple); 17.8-44.5 (size .75, Green); 21.1-53.3 (size 1, Red); 25.4-64 (size 2, Gold)
  • Weight (grams): 95 (size .5), Purple); 113 (size .75, Green); 176 (size 1, Red); 207 (size 2, Gold)
  • Strength (kN): 8 kN (size .5, Purple); 10 kN (size .75, Green); 14 (size 1, Red); 14 (size 2, Gold)

Link Cams Good for Odd Placements.
By DougVerified Buyer from Iowa City, IA on 2/14/2006
Pros:
Good range for funky flairing cracks
Cons:
Thumb trigger too small
Best Uses:
Odd shaped cracks - uneven or flairing

Comments about Omega Pacific Link Cams:

These cams work well in crappy cracks that are uneven or flairing. If it initially looks like a bad placement, just depress it further and move it around. I found it works well in the local limestone/dolomite in solution pockets and funky cracks.
