The Gold Standard
When you're pumped and run out above your last piece, you want to know that it'll hold when you take the whip. Enter the Black Diamond C4 Camalot. From the splitter cracks of Moab to the big walls of Yosemite, there's a reason that everyone knows and carries BD Camalots as a standard part of their rack. Easy to identify on route thanks to the color-coded lobes and slings, the Camalot has been redesigned this year to be 10% lighter than ever before. Dropping weight from the lobes and stems means that you don't have to worry about bringing that extra #4 along, and can avoid heinous runouts on desert towers. The geniuses over at Black Diamond also added a trigger keeper on the #4, #5, and #6 to keep them contracted while on the rack that immediately releases when you're ready to place, saving you space when you're racking up while the wider trigger makes the cams easier to handle, so they are easier to retrieve and place when you need them most.
