DMM Dragon 2 Cam 00-8 From £69.50

DMM Dragon Cams

Combining over 30 years manufacturing and design experience with our vast wealth of climbing knowledge, we’ve created a state-of-the-art cam that makes the most of every placement.

An increased contact area with a raw aluminium finish and additional bite points are the hallmarks of our revolutionary TripleGrip cam lobes. These features work together to increase friction between the cam lobe and the rock it's placed in. The result is greater holding power and reduced walking, particularly in slick or soft rock types and sub-optimal placements.

Single stem, dual axle design gives Dragon cams 360° flexibility and the greatest expansion range, increasing both performance in sub-optimal placements and your chance of getting the right piece first time. The Dragon cams hot-forged thumb press gives stable handling and reduces fumbling from gloved hands and pumped fingers. It allows the Dragon to have an extendable sling with no strength penalty, reducing the number of quickdraws needed to extend placements and minimising rack weight.

The design of the thumb press means that the strength of the Dragon suffers no compromise when the sling is extended – they are rated to a huge 14kN from size 1 upward and the additional material in the lobes has improved their resistance to deformation.

Features:

• Colour coded for easy size identification: The DMM protection range is colour coded for quick and easy size selection. Colours are co-ordinated across passive and active protection, for quick selection of alternatives if your first choice doesn't fit.
• Ergonomic thumb press gives stable handling: A hot forged thumb press with extendable 8mm Dyneema sling gives quick placement and retrieval, and stable handling. The thumb press allows cams to have an extendable sling without sacrificing strength – Dragon cams from size 1 upward, have a 14kN strength rating.
• TripleGrip lobes for increased holding power and reduced walking: TripleGrip lobes improve performance and reduce walking in all rock types. Contact areas are machined aluminium, giving better grip than anodised surfaces. These feature additional edges that catch on crystals and other micro features, helping the Dragon bite to increase grip and reduce walking. The lobes are also thickened, making them more robust under load, and highly resistant to bending forces.
• Extendable sling reduces rope drag and rack weight: Extendable slings allow speedy placement extension without additional quickdraws. Extending placements reduces rope drag when routes change direction, move round corners or over roofs. Simply rack each cam on it's own carabiner for a self-contained system that is quick and easy to extend. Carrying less quickdraws minimises rack weight on your harness.
• Dual axle design for expanded range: Dual axle cams have a greater expansion range than single axle designs, allowing them to fit a greater range of crack sizes. This lets dual axle cams fit more placements and have greater overlap between sizes, allowing you to carry fewer units to protect the same range of cracks.
• 13.75° cam angle for high holding power
