- In 1977, the world was introduced to the first active-protection
- devices and ever since, protecting hard climbs hasn’t been the
- same. Although many companies have entered into the market
- with their own versions of the original design, there hasn’t really
- been a big jump in camming technology since that first offering
- almost thirty years ago.
-
Take a look at what a true leap forward finally looks like … - Introducing the Omega Pacific Link Cam.
-
It’s a revolutionary concept from the legendary Greg Lowe and - operates on the simple design that a cam lobe can be trisected
- and linked so that as the cam is retracted, the lobe unfolds and
- permits an amazing range for a unit of its size.
-
Utilizing a reliable, single-axle design, our cam lobes exceed the - closest competition’s range substantially. With a camming ratio of
- over 2.5:1, there’s nothing close to the Link Cam on the market
- today. The Link Cam #1, for instance, covers the same range as
- up to four of our competitors cams!
-
That extended range means you can leave the ground with fewer - pieces on your rack. No more doubling up on pieces you think
- you “might” need if you’re unsure where, exactly, you’ll need
- doubles of one particular piece.
-
For backcountry climbers, it means packing in less gear. For - relatively easy routes requiring only a few pieces here and there,
- Link Cams will be the odds-on favorite. And as a “crux piece”
- there’s nothing like it: pumped, arms failing, not-really-in-themood-
- to-fiddle-with-gear … grab your Link Cam. Place it. Relax.
-
 Mechanically-speaking,
- Link Cams are as innovative as the concept behind their design. Built
- with a hybrid blend of materials and advanced MIM process, Link Cams
- are the most sophisticated and modern camming devices in the world.
-
The - two, inner links on each lobe unit are built with a very new (and very
- expensive) process known as Metal-Injection- Molding which permits us
- to create detailed, precision pieces—like casting—with the strength of
- machined parts and are made from 17-4 aircraft stainless steel. The
- outer link is machined from 7000-series aluminum alloy.
-
- Other benefits abound:
-
- With a constant cam angle of 13.5°, we achieve our range without sacrificing holding power.
-
-
- With the increased surface contact between the retracted cam links and
- the rock, Link Cams tend to “walk” less than other units.
-
-
- The unique range eliminates the need for specialized, “offset cams” for flared-crack protection.
-
-
- The range of Link Cams provides a greater margin of safety for “plug and go” placements.
-
-
- Minimize the time spent fooling with gear—Link Cams are a perfect fit!
