Totem Cam

Season:SS24

Brand:Totem

Code:5014960

These innovative camming devices from Spain move the evolution of the cam along with a totally stemless design, that is both very flexible and very easy to place, even when wearing gloves. The Totem Cams are very light, very flexible and feature a integrated Dyneema sling.  The Totem's feature a Direct Loading Camming Device system, that means a perfectly equalized load is put onto each lobe when placed, eliminating the risk of inactive lobes and outbalanced forces that might compromise the stability of your cam placement. This has the added bonus of reducing any 'walking' or creep.  

If you find a small, marginal pocket or crack and you need to get something in for your peace of mind, Totem Cams can be loaded on just two lobes (although we would advise caution if using this option, use it for back up protection only).

Buyers Guide - How to choose Choose a Traditional Climbing Rack

Excited to be buying the first bits of lead gear to build your trad rack? So are we!

Our climbing gear walls have been described as some of the best in Europe (by our International Reps who know a thing or two) and as boulderers, sport climbers, trad climbers and mountaineers ourselves we LOVE to talk about gear. Both the Joe Brown shops, and The Climbers Shop have been supplying climbers and expeditions since 1966 and 1959 respectively, we were founded by climbers and the only thing we love more than talking about gear is actually going climbing ourselves. We don’t just learn about what’s the best kit to use – we know what’s the best kit to use……..


- What is the first piece of protection I should buy?

- What length Quickdraws are best?
- Why are there so many different lengths slings?
- How do I choose which karabiners to add?
- Can I lead if I don’t own any cams?
- Do I really need to carry Prusik Loops?
- How do I know when my gear has worn out?




Top tips to make the right choice:

Go shopping with your mate and/or someone more experienced so you buy the right thing for the routes you climb and, more importantly, gear that compliments each other’s racks.

Tag your gear so that you know who’s is who. We sell purpose made tags or you could use your own personal design of insulation tape.

Buy a length of rope off the reel and practice your knots so they become second nature. Tying a clove hitch one handed without bending your fingers looks REALLY cool!

Regularly tie yourself to a stair banister so you can prefect your belaying skills and be super slick out on the crag. It saves time and means you can enjoy the route and make it back to the pub to revel in your success.

Join a club – it’s the cheapest way to learn and you’ll have an instant pool of climbing partners or hire an Instructor or Guide to learn loads of great tips and techniques.

  • Totem Cam review by Mark, on 07/04/2022

    5
    Recently replaced most of my trad climbing rack with the climbers-shop, fantastic range of products and brilliant service as always, purchased 5 Totem cams and 4 BD 4s to replace 12 WC cams ( original friends), the Totems cover a fantastic range, particularly like the black one. one point to remember is they don’t rack the same on your harness as single stems, but well worth the extra cost
