METOLIUS OFFSET MASTER CAM
Our testers absolutely loved the Metolius Offset Master Cams. Using and placing the cams is really easy and confidence inspiring. If you’ve never used a Master Cam you will really dig the color coded dots along the outer edge of the larger sizes. Green against the rock – good, yellow – iffy, red – better put in a bigger cam, or get another piece in as soon as you can find another placement. Although no one likes to fall on gear, falling on a well placed Offset Master Cam really keeps your mind on the game. The machined lobes dig into the rock whether its granite or gneiss. The flexible stems can take a big fall without permanently kinking the stem (usually). The color coding on the sling and thumb look helps you to keep track of what you’re looking for. The colors match up with the standard Master Cam colors, except the thumb loop is one color and the sling is another so you know which two sizes you’re getting. The Offset Master Cam’s aren’t the lightest cams available, but they aren’t whales either.
