Extra Wide/Fragile Flake Cam Hook

The Moses Extra Wide/Fragile Flake Cam Hook is used to smoothly make quick progress up cracks. The use of applied leverage transfers bodyweight into holding force against the rock. Place protection pieces as if you are free climbing and climb past funky placements with clean finger locks of metal!

Moses cam hooks are patterned after Ed Leeper’s amazing design and are made in the USA, using the highest quality steel and aluminium for durability and the perfect amount of flex. The over-bent hook has a subtle hourglass-shaped tip that locks into cracks and pin scars. Smooth surfaces around webbing tie-off hole reduces webbing wear.

The Moses cam hooks come in four sizes and shapes: micro, narrow, wide and extra wide/fragile flake. Fragile Flake/Extra Wides have less leverage against the rock and are less likely to break off delicate features. They are made of aluminum which is softer than steel and has a better “bite” on the rock to increase holding friction.

Care

A water-displacing dry film oil is applied to steel cam hooks during manufacturing. If a surface becomes rusty, remove rust with Scotch-Brite or a fine abrasive pad. Remove any moisture from cam hook surfaces and oil with a good water-displacing product (WD-40 or equivalent) when not in use. Wipe off excess oil with a clean, dry cloth.  Store in a dry place. Use a file to remove any burrs that have resulted from heavy use. Do not use a grinder or belt sander as this will undo the heat treating.
