Merlin 8
Description
Merlin cams use a patent pending control horn retraction mechanism. The control horn mechanism eliminates the geometrical constraints placed on other large cams and allows for a larger camming range, resistance to buckling, and lower weight. The Merlin cams also have a patent pending trigger lock mechanism that allows the cams to be locked in the retracted position and easily deployed with one hand while climbing.
