CAMP USA Tricam Evo

Unlike spring-loaded camming devices (SLCDs) that rely on a trigger mechanism, Tricams are hybrid pieces. They can be placed passively like a nut or actively like a cam, allowing them to fit into pockets and irregular cracks where standard cams might not sit securely.

You can place them as a passive nut, a camming unit, or in a 'tucked' position for specific pocket placements. This versatility makes them particularly useful for horizontal breaks and limestone pockets where traditional gear often fails.

Tricams have a steeper learning curve than standard cams because they require a bit more finesse to place correctly. While they are an excellent addition to any rack, beginners should practice placing them on the ground before relying on them for lead protection.
