from 'Extreme Alpinism', Twight
"...most titanium [gear] comes from the former Soviet or East Bloc countries. Who knows whether the metal was appropriated from the aircraft factory and not the teapot factory?"

Oh yeah, take his toenails

Heh, been using these teapot cams for about 6 years now, they have held some pretty big falls, never failed, and never pulled one, they may not look as pretty as camalots, buut they are about half the weight.
But yes, they may well be made out of teapots, but it would be a pretty funky teapot to be made out of Ti !

Hmm. Good to hear. Maybe they put more value and precision on their tea brewing material than their aerospace program
(their espresso machine in the sky has been hissing steam for a while now...)

Someone mentioned to me there was some gear stuck on Libretto and it turned out to be a 0.5 Stregor single stem flexi cam. I've found it's got a really stiff spring, wide head and small camming range, even when compared to other single axle designs. I never use it except for on long finger cracks. Wouldn't recommend them.
