Main MaterialMain MaterialThis field refers to the hex head. A majority of hex heads will be 6061-T6 Aluminum, but we don't write that in all willy nilly and only have input here after we've confirmed the material with the manufacturer/brand. |

SlingSling MaterialThe material that takes up the majority of the "sling." Note: If a hex has a wire sling with tubular protection, we just call this "wire." Similarly, when we say "Dyneema" this does not mean the sling is 100% Dyneema. It will be some combination of Dyneema and nylon (there are no 100% Dyneema slings). Since you cannot dye Dyneema, the colored portion of the sling is made of nylon. | Dyneema, single sling loop |
Range (in / mm)Range (in / mm)In inches and millimeters, the maximum range as stated by the manufacturer/brand. This is measuring the minimum length on the small side of the hex, and the maximum size of the widest part of the hex. | 1.02 in - 1.34 in 26.00 mm - 34.00 mm |
CertificationCertificationsThe main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries. To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process. Learn MoreRock and Ice Certifications Guide |

These CAMP hexes are functioning fine and predictably, they are after all hexes, their dyneema slings colour-coded to the heads form quite the rainbow together and the colour makes the sizes easy to identify; they seem light as feathers; the Carvex heads are curved for maximum hex-to-rock contact, ensuring better placements. I love the distinct muted clang of them and I do still love placing them but ethereally floating beyond all that they are proving to be wonderful talismans.
