Black Diamond product announcement tomorrow?
|
Black Diamond said on their facebook page that they will be unveiling a new climbing product tomorrow. I just bought an entire rack of C4s. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? |
|
Offsets?!?!!!? |
|
Offset cams are a great guess...an new mixed route in the Dacks of NY went up this winter and the write up on Climbing's website mentioned they used protoype BD offsets. |
|
I was very curious too when they said that on Facebook & Twitter today. Couldn't think at all of what they might be announcing, but offsets sounds like a great guess. |
|
If they get me all worked up and excited and then just say that they made some outstanding improvement on chalk, I'm going to email them the only Rick Roll video that can never be exited out of, effectively shutting down Black Diamond. |
|
Now I could use a 5/6 offset C4 for those offwidth pin scars |
|
I climbed on some BD offset cams a couple years ago but was told that they weren't planning on producing them. But, maybe they've changed their mind... |
|
They just dropped prices a bit for c3's maybe an updated version? |
|
a much bigger, huge sized camalot for 20 inch cracks? |

I saw that too Tyler. Something about magnets and climbing just doesn't seem right to me. |

Super lame. this is worse than the time the raccoon got caught in the copier. |

Thank you for reminding me of Tenatious D, its been a long time since I have listened to them. |

I wonder about durability and strength rating on those magnetic gates. Seems like it would be less secure than a normal screwlock. Still, I guess I can't knock it till people actually get a chance to try it out. If durability and strength aren't an issue, then it seems pretty neat. |
|
i personally dont think a good screwgate or autolock is that difficult to use |
|
That was a let down. I thought it was actually going to be something new! These are almost exactly like the auto locking biners already on the market. |
