In reply to beardy mike:
I’ve got a set of DMM Dragon II and a set of BD Ultralights. The Ultralights sure don’t like sea cliffs, as I found the axels rusting up within a week of use down in Cornwall! Think I’m not the first to mention that on here.
It’s weight vs durability. I use the Dragon II’s for day-to-day climbing, but if I’m doubling up on cams on a long route, then I add in some Ultralights.
In the Alps I’m Ultralights all the way. You really notice the weight difference for those loooong walk-ins!
If you fancy big grey (size 4), get the normal BD Camalot, as the retractable trigger is worth gold to stop it constantly poking you in the thigh.
