C.A.M.P. Tricam Evo

The Tricam Evo is a hybrid piece of protection that functions as both an active cam and a passive chock. Unlike standard SLCDs, it has no moving springs to fail and can be placed in three distinct modes, allowing it to fit into pockets, horizontal cracks, and parallel fissures where traditional cams might walk or fail to seat.

They do have a steeper learning curve than standard cams. Because they require a specific 'camming' motion to set properly, you will need to practice placing them on the ground before relying on them for lead protection.

Grit and slate often feature unique, non-parallel rock formations like shot holes or shallow pockets where standard cams cannot expand properly. The Tricam's unique geometry allows it to lock into these specific features, providing security where other gear simply won't fit.

Yes, they are highly effective for aid climbing. Their ability to be placed passively as a chock or actively as a cam makes them incredibly versatile for building complex anchors or securing yourself in thin, difficult-to-protect terrain.

This set includes sizes 0.25 through 1.5, which are ideal for thin to medium-sized cracks. While they are a fantastic addition to any rack, you may still want to carry a few standard cams for larger cracks or faster placements in straightforward terrain.
