a well placed nut is usually stronger than a cam, assuming good rock.
(no moving parts, no walking, no tiny axle) (ckeck the Kn rating on your gear.)
DMM "Wallnuts" Size 10 (12kN)
Black Diamond "Micro Cam" Size .1 (7kN) Range 8.6 to 13.7mm
cams are only really useful when a nut can't be placed (parallel cracks)
or when you're feeling pumped and panicky.
my personal feeling is that usually, the smaller the crack (within reason) the better the pro. |
