Climbing Cams

Climbing cams are a key part of a trad climbing rack, providing removable protection in cracks and other suitable rock features. Whether you're building your first trad rack, adding specialist sizes to an existing collection or looking for lightweight protection for longer routes, choosing the right cams can give you greater confidence when placing gear on the climb.

At The Climbers Shop, you'll find a selection of climbing cams from leading brands, with different sizes, designs and ranges to suit a variety of cracks and climbing styles. Modern cams provide secure placements while staying relatively lightweight and easy to carry, making them an important part of many trad and multi-pitch racks.

When choosing cams, consider the range of crack sizes you regularly encounter, the number of units you need and features such as axle design, flexibility, sling configuration and colour coding. A well-chosen selection can complement passive protection such as nuts and hexes, giving you a versatile rack for traditional climbing.
