Trango Big Bro 1
Best reliable protection for wide crack and offwidth climbing.
These are the ultimate solution for wide cracks where traditional cams become too heavy and cumbersome to carry. While they lack the rapid-fire placement speed of a spring-loaded device, their unmatched expansion range and lightweight profile make them indispensable for tackling offwidth terrain without weighing down your harness.
