i have got a pink and red tri cam that i am looking to get rid of. i have had them on my rack for about a year and they have never been placed. pretty much brand new except for the minor dings from being on my rack
I'm looking to get 10 each plus shipping or give an offer

Ben - you may try those tri-cams , I do not EVER leave the ground without those same two pieces of gear. They will fit places that NO other gear will. Examples....... A one or two finger pocket , ( in the camming mode)......... a shallow horz. slot ......... an odd shape slot that a wire won't quite set in cleanly...... they set like a wire-straight, with sling out the bottom - they set at least 2 ways as a camming device designed to cam when loaded -with sling over the top of the cam -or the sling coming from under. it depends which side you place the nub on. once you use them ( where nothing else on your rack would fit ) you will really like having them.

I used to think tricams were just a pain, but now I love them. They really do fit where other pro won't. I could have used one recently and had left it behind...left me thinking the same thing, "don't leave ground without them". I'd like a couple more that size, but don't want to mess with shipping...and I'm a little more comfortable buying pro fresh from the store!

Someone will likely bite though!

Trust me, don't get rid of them. You will learn to love them. I actually have two pinkies on my rack.

Agreed. I carry doubles of pink and red on pretty much every route I climb, even if I get made fun of by most people I climb with. They are great at belays (save the cams for during the pitch), and much less painful to the wallet to leave behind if you have to bail off something. I've had my butt saved a few times by that pink guy.

Ode to a Pink Tricam

Oh Pink's the one I love to place
when I'm alone way up in space
on some exposed and airy face.

They sink where other gear won't go.
When all you've got is manky pro,
This tricam saves your butt from woe.

But it's often hard to get them out;
They make your second moan and shout
And wave his nut tool 'round about

But that's why you're the one on lead
Your problems are a different breed
As long as someone does the deed...

"Oh quit your whimpering," you rumble,
"And get it out or there'll be trouble"
"Get to work now, on the double!"

Although it sometimes takes a while,
They do come out with vim and guile,
(or chiselling and curses vile.)

Pink will do what all the rest.
Won't do when they're put to the test.
Oh pink tricams are just the best!

15 for the two , you really never need em' :)

Charles D, pinkie had 2 smaller cousins just added to the lineup !

FYI:

Tri-Cams, a brilliant LOWE development, are the single most versatile and creative protection ever devised and developed! They can securely go virtually anywhere. And as has been previously posted they go securely where nothing else can. All they really require, whether placing or removing, is thought. But like students no longer needing to learn math when hand held calculators are allowed in class modern climbers can just plug and go. In some ways the fine art of chockcraft is a dead language.

I just used my meager REI dividend to order one of the new blacks, can't wait to get it! There's been many times I've wished I had one smaller than pink, now my wish will come true.

Kirra,

Good point!

I don't carry very many racks without Tricams, however be aware that the single point of the Tricam can break the rock if placed too close to the outside of the crack.

I rarely leave the ground without the pink, red, black, blue and tricams!

Those things are the bomb!

REI has the black (.25) in stock...

The white (.125) are on the way in the next week or two...the floodgates will then open up to all retailers...EMS, MGear, specialty retailers, etc...

Yep...I work for C.A.M.P. We are waiting on the arrival of these units from Italy and hope to start shipping in the next week to 10 days...let me know if anyone has questions...cheers!

I love the pink, truly my favorite piece on the rack, and now I've been very impressed with the black, 4 KN is plenty strong just use a screamer or the like, no worries mates.

Here is my little pinky haiku

When I'm runnin out
worried I'll fall? need a drink?
I rely on pink

the zero point five
she's the one I can count on
to keep me alive

banged-out ol' pin scar
cutler or moenkopi
she's the girl for me

now my world's askew
pink's not the king of the land?
black and white are new . . .

. . . kids out of the gate
endless chossibilities
and FAs await!

thanks for all the input but i have found some one who is willing and as excited as most of you all to own a pink and red tri cam. woo hoo

Ben , Ben , Ben , sorry to hear that . Here is hoping you never are forced to run it out .

haha kevin i know as i am writing this i will be faced with a lead that would be protected amazingly with a pink AND a red tri cam... at that point i will laugh, bite the bullet and just run it out. ahh to be young and dumb

It's not too late my boy -save yourself ! For Gods sake man SAVE YOURSELF ( your belayer will thank you. ) You may bite the bullet and run it out with a smile but............. like you said ..........WOO HOO !!

Now that is AWESOME!!

Kris...that is outstanding.
