DMM Dragon Cam 5 climbing friend
DMM Dragon Cam climbing friend 5 is a top-of-the-range product to have for those who are passionate about traditional climbing.
Dragon Cam 5 is a safe and functional cam protection device.
This is what DMM says about Dragon Cam 5.
The Dragon's striking TripleGrip cam lobes feature an increased contact area with a raw aluminum finish and additional bite points. These features work together to increase friction between the cam lobe and the rock it's placed in. This increases holding power and reduces walking, particularly in slick or soft rock types and marginal placements.
Single stem, dual axle design gives Dragon cams 360° flexibility and a substantial expansion range, increasing performance in sub-optimal placements and helping you get the right piece the first time. The Dragon cams hot-forged thumb press provides stable handling and reduces fumbling from gloved hands and pumped fingers. It allows the Dragon to have an extendable sling with no strength penalty, reducing the number of quickdraws needed to extend placements and minimizing rack weight.
The DMM protection range is color-coded for quick and easy size selection. Colors are coordinated across passive and active protection for quick selection of alternatives if your first choice doesn't fit.
A hot-forged thumb press allows for quick placement and retrieval, and stable handling. The thumb press allows cams to have an extendable sling without sacrificing strength – Dragon cams from size 1 upward have a 14kN strength rating.
TripleGrip lobes improve performance and reduce walking in all rock types. Contact areas are machined aluminum, providing better grip than anodized surfaces. These feature additional edges that catch on crystals and other micro features, helping the Dragon bite to increase grip and reduce walking. The lobes are also thickened, making them more robust under load and highly resistant to bending forces.
Extendable slings allow speedy placement extension without additional quickdraws. Extending placements reduces rope drag when routes change direction, move around corners, or over roofs. Simply rack each cam on its own carabiner for a self-contained system that is quick and easy to extend. Carrying fewer quickdraws minimizes rack weight on your harness.
Dual axle cams have a greater expansion range than single axle designs, allowing them to fit a greater range of crack sizes. This lets dual axle cams fit more placements and have greater overlap between sizes, allowing you to carry fewer units to protect the same range of cracks.
