Camalot


Camalot is a brand of spring-loaded camming devices manufactured by Black Diamond Equipment used to secure ropes while rock climbing.
Black Diamond has produced several different models of Camalots:
Like other cams, Camalot lobes are in the shape of a logarithmic spiral, resulting in a constant angle between the cam and the rock at each contact point; this constant angle is designed to always provide the necessary friction to hold a cam in equilibrium.
In April 2020, Black Diamond introduced the #7 and #8 C4s, the largest Camalots ever built. The cams were initially teased with an April Fool's Day video of Alex Honnold supposedly placing a "#21" C4. At $199.99 and $239.99, they are also the most expensive Camalots ever sold
