The Black Diamond Camalot C4 is the world’s best-selling and most trusted camming device for trad climbing and crack protection. Now redesigned and 10% lighter, the updated Camalot C4 delivers improved strength-to-weight performance without sacrificing durability.
The sculpted cam lobes are engineered for optimized holding power and reduced weight, while the color-coded slings allow for quick rack identification. For larger sizes (#4–#8), the integrated trigger keeper keeps the unit compact on your harness and instantly releases when you’re ready to place, making big gear more manageable on long pitches.
A wider trigger design improves handling and control, giving climbers precise placement in cracks ranging from thin hands to wide off-widths.
Whether you’re building a complete trad rack or upgrading worn protection, the Camalot C4 remains a benchmark in reliable rock climbing protection.
