Black Diamond Camalot Z4 Offset .3/.4 Camming Device - Blue/Gray

For trad climbers tackling pin scars, flaring cracks, and irregular placements, the Black Diamond Camalot Z4 Offset .3/.4 delivers unmatched security in marginal rock. Its offset lobe configuration—.3 on one side, .4 on the other—locks into asymmetric fissures where standard cams fail, while the OmniFlex cable stem bends in every direction to reduce walking and improve placement confidence.

Advantages

The Z4 Offset's narrow head width and sandblasted lobes bite into slick or uneven rock, and the single-axle design keeps the unit compact and lightweight at just 61 grams. The 14mm Dynex sling is durable and easy to clip, while the colour-coded blue/gray lobes allow quick size identification on your harness. Independent wire construction in the stem resists kinking, ensuring smooth retraction and longevity even after repeated falls.

• Trad climbing on flared or offset cracks
