Black Diamond Climbing hook Ultralight Camalot .75

Born from an open-hearted discussion with our top BD trad athletes Hazel Findlay, Carlo Traversi, Sam Elias, and Babsi Zangerl, the Camalot Z4 is the fulfillment of a dream: to have a single-stem Camalot that remains rigid in hand but becomes flexible once in place. Here is the patent-pending RigidFlex stem. Thanks to its independently floating retaining cables, the Camalot Z4 does not flex when under tension or retracted, but once in place, it allows the stem to move and achieve an anchor that stays put and doesn’t shift when pulled in a certain direction. For the larger sizes, the stem also has a double twisted cable structure that provides uniform flexibility in all directions, while for the smaller sizes, a single cable is used to prevent deformation when pulling hard on the trigger and to reduce the trigger volume. With a head of the same width as our previous model, the Camalot C3, but with 4 sandblasted cams for better holding power, the Camalot Z4 is not just an improved version. It is also available in smaller sizes, ranging from size 0, our smallest Camalot ever made, up to size 0.75, allowing for versatility whether you're seeking cracks at the top or moving quickly and lightly through the Alps. A new standard in single-stem Camalots, the Camalot Z4 features our revolutionary RigidFlex stem design that, as the name suggests, remains rigid when placed but becomes flexible while climbing. It ensures a good grip and reduces the distance needed for a solid anchor you can rely on.
