The Master Cams by Metolius are their first single stemmed cam they have made due to all the different styles of cracks you can encounter when climbing. Based on the idea that a single stemmed cam can fit better into awkward cracks and fissures than the U-shaped body and the flexible, single cable reduces leverage to minimize walking in certain funky placements. The Master Cam offers climbers a narrow head and flexy cable piece that is made especially for hard aid or free climbing, and its silky smooth trigger action allows for quick placements and removal. The longer body affords additional reach when top-stepping or stretching for that hard-to-get placement, and the Range Finder on the cam lobes you get a quick look assessment to whether or not the piece will be effective in its placement. Each cam is hand-built in Bend, Oregon and is thoroughly inspected and every unit is tested to 5 kN. Master Cams are CE and UIAA certified.
