Metolius Supercam

The Supercam Small features an asymmetrical, opposing lobe configuration that allows it to cover a significantly wider expansion range than traditional cams. This design is specifically engineered to handle flared, uneven, or wide cracks where standard cams might struggle to seat properly.

While it is a powerful tool for any rack, the Supercam is particularly useful for climbers who are starting to tackle more complex, traditional terrain. The integrated Range Finder system helps you quickly verify if you have selected the correct size for the placement, which can be a helpful confidence booster.

The flexible double-stem design provides excellent stability and allows for more precise placement in irregular cracks. It helps the cam stay seated securely even when the rock features are less than ideal, reducing the likelihood of the device walking deeper into the crack.

The Range Finder system uses a color-coded sling to provide immediate visual feedback on whether the cam is placed within its optimal expansion range. This allows you to quickly identify if the cam is over- or under-cammed, saving time and mental energy during high-stakes leads.

Despite its wide expansion range and robust construction, the Supercam Small is designed to be lightweight. By using materials like Kevlar for the trigger and Dyneema for the sling, Metolius has kept the weight down to 312 grams, making it a manageable addition to your rack.

Yes, the Supercam is designed to be field-maintainable. It utilizes Kevlar trigger material, which is lightweight and durable, and the overall construction allows for basic upkeep to ensure the lobes continue to operate smoothly while you are out climbing.
