Tethrd Cam Cleat

[Ehlusive]

I am not trying to start a argument. If you want to use one go for it. There was a video on this forum where the cleat broke while the guy was climbing. There are guys on here that one stick and do not use cam cleats.
I will not climb on anything outside if it's rated use. Including Kong ducks, ropemans and so on.

That video is of a clam cleat totally different than a cam cleat.

I’d like to see that video.

Says right in the title "Clam Cleat" not cam cleat.

Exactly that's what I said. I have yet to see a cam one fail.

The one I saw that was cracked appeared, at least to me, to be from over tightening the mounting hardware.

Here is some good info on cam cleats and some tests that have been done. They do mention that they don't try to break them anymore cause it's not easy to do

Wait, didn't I read somewhere that Muddy has the patent pending on using a cam cleats on a climbing stick? That while you can sell them and state that they can be use on stick, they cant sell a stick with a cam cleat on it. EWO has been able to get around this because they are custom building you a stick, not have a mass produced product.

Yup. Did my research. Guess Tethrd didn't want to pay to use the patent.
