Review: Metolius Supercam

Metolius went back to the drawing board for its new Supercam and came back with an innovative asymmetric design that yields nearly twice the range of a standard cam. The largest size has a whopping two inches of range (that’s big for a climber, trust me), and with it I felt perfectly protected on the crux of Sparerib and nearly the entire second pitch on Gallatin Tower’s standard route. The design is a little funky, so remember to babysit your follower during the first few placements, or they will get it impossibly stuck. Promise. $70-$90, depending on size; metoliusclimbing.com.
