I am rebuilding my rack after getting it stolen, and I really prefer the WC Friends, lighter wieght and better build quality plus extendable slings. But 2018 C4s are a steal right now so that's hard to pass up. But I found select WC sizes 25-35% off on Backcountry. For the smaller sizes I'd go aliens or metolius power cams, x4s if you're a brand whore |
|
Totems up to size 1, wild country for bigger. |
|
Between c4’s and new friends, new friends every time. They are lighter and have a nicer build quality for sure. A lot of people say how the extendable sling is too short and you still need a draw, but really what it does is give you the option of being able to have a biner in another location if it were normally going to be loaded over an edge. Don’t have to use it but it’s nice to have options. |
|
Metolius ul mastercams for the fingers, wc friends for hands. The ranges extend over pretty nicely and you end up with a very light rack. |
|
Camalots. Go with the gold standard. Your future partners (and you) will appreciate it. |
|
I found the build quality on the New Friends to be lacking on the stem, they have twisted weirdly on me few times, which was concerning cause I could see the cable.. That being said, I still rack them over Camalots due to weight savings, since the twisting thing appeared mainly cosmetic. My rack in 70/30 BD/WC |

Another vote for Metolius cams for small cams. If you use your cams you'll inevitably bust cams break wires etc. Yeah a lot can be DIY repaired but metolius's customer service is what makes them so appealing for me. Also they are sweet cams. X4's are meh. |

DMM Dragons? You lose the thumb loop, but get the better build quality and lighter weight, plus a sling that extends to a usable length. My partner has C4's and the thumb loop vs. thumb press has never been an issue in the moderate trad climbing I do. |
|
Dragons are the exact same weight as c4’s. New friends are the lightest of the three, but you are right about the build quality for sure. |

Are we talking about the "new" C4's or the older ones most people are climbing on? The stuff I have read says that Dragons are a bit lighter, not by a revolutionary amount, but lighter. |
|
The original c4’s, not the new ones. I actually put one of each, dmm, Wc and BD, in three different sizes on a scale. Dmm and c4’s were identical but WC’s were ~15-18% lighter |
|
Another vote for totems if you can find them I absolutely love them and always reach for them before my C4s |
|
New friends and new c4’s weight about the same. I like having both on my rack esp thin hands to hands because the sizing is just different enough to create some meaningful overlap. Pick the wrong cams though and yergonnadie... |

Camalots are winter friendly. |

Get the ones that I have. They're the best. |
