Funny stuff! Seem to have hit a nerve ODH? Were you beaten up once as a small child by a cam placed like this? Hehe how olds stevie haston now? Is it an age thing, or that you never were very motivated. Hmmm

So according to that other diagram you'll instantly snap a cam if it placed in a horizontal crack too? I call BS on that pic too. Sure not ideal but fine in real life applications.

Just chill man. Like we said, cams dont hold up well when placed as mentioned. But they WILL hold most of the time! Either way they have more holding power than when theyre racked on your harness...

As for useful info, c3s can get extra purchase in (very rare) placements, where the solid metal stem that holds the lobes can act almost like a stopper when placed horizontally. That logic(hard to grasp for some) stems from how they are placed in the copious pin-scars of yosemite, sometime sticking straight out! :O
