C.A.M.P.

C.A.M.P. (Construzione Articoli Montagna Premana) have been making the finest mountaineering equipment since 1889. With product design and development undertaken in conjunction with leading mountaineers and climbers, such as the mountain guides of Courmayeur and Cortina, C.A.M.P. have maintained their position as the leading manufacturer in Europe with a comprehensive range which is second to none.

C.A.M.P. are possibly best known as manufacturers of ice axes and crampons. They have led the way over many years with major innovations including: First ice axe with light alloy shaft; First UIAA Approved ice axe; First modular axe; First rigid frame crampons and first crampons with step-in fast-binding system. C.A.M.P. have also pioneered the "lightweight revolution" with the XLA axe and XLC crampons.

C.A.M.P. offer a wide range of climbing hardware: equipment to rely on and to increase safety, even in the most difficult situations. The CC4U ("C.A.M.P. Cares For You") system has been devised to give users an indication of when an item should be retired. Ice tools and harnesses now include CC4U indicators.
From Europe's leading manufacturer of climbing equipment, this comprehensive range of karabiners includes the internationally patented "Betclimb" models featuring the hook on the gate to minimise snagging of ropes or tapes. Every C.A.M.P. karabiner is tested before leaving the factory to 75% of the guaranteed load.

Over their long history, C.A.M.P. have established a fine reputation as an innovator of climbing protection. Today a huge choice of nuts, wedges and cams, is available. From the original design Hexentrics - still the optimum shape, weight and strength - to the latest Ballnuts and Jet Cams. The modern production facilities ensuring controlled quality and low prices.

The wide range of climbing protection from C.A.M.P. includes the original design of Hexentrics, now colour coded and available loose, wired or with Dyneema tapes. Also, the high-tech "Campack" backpacks designed for adventure racing, ski touring and alpine use; as well as the popular travel accessories, equipment karabiners and key rings from C.A.M.P.
