Avoid placing Camalot C3s
So I just recieved my #0 Black Diamond C3. I’ve always loved BD gear, but I was a bit iffy on the C3s because the triggers are a tad stiff for my liking and they’re pretty pricey. A 20% off REI coupon made the latter problem go away, and lets face it, you can almost never go wrong with BD gear.
I pretty rarely read manuals, but I happened to pop open the C3 manual while having a bite to eat, and came across the “Bad Placements” section…. the last line of which reads “Avoid placing Camalot C3s”…
Wtf?
Seriously?
Ummmmmm….
A sigh of relief came over me as I flipped to the page to find that the sentence continued to read “in vertical bottoming cracks where it is not possible to align the stem in the direction of the load”
Hah, copy writing fail, BD! better get on that one…
