Trailer of "NON EXPANSION" A6
มุมมอง 4.1K4 ปีที่แล้ว
CAST: Ética y compromiso de la mano de Genis Hernandez, Jan Casas y Marcel Millet. Escaladores experimentados con mas de 1000 aperturas a sus espaldas, casi todas de dificultad extrema, (A5 , A6...) donde la cabeza y los Totem Cam juegan un papel importantísimo. "Totem nos da la seguridad que no nos dan otros friends, ya que trabaja con levas independientes y para artificial extremo es ideal, y...
Trailer of "Why not" An overcoming history
มุมมอง 3.8K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Eleonora " Lola " is a passionate climber in all season. In March 2015, while she is climbing an icefall in Val Daone, she is victim of a dreadful accident in which she loses the use of her legs. For Lola, however, the desire to resume physical activity and dive back into the climbing is overwhelming, and after a few months of rehabilitation, she accepts without hesitation the proposal of Diego...

Neskalatzaileak
มุมมอง 19K8 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video, we have the pleasure of sharing the essence of "Neskalatzaileak" a peculiar mountaineer group. Idoia and Ana told us about the meaning of mountaineering, about how to live with and for nature, they told us about the strength and the energy that can be exchanged in it, and they invited us to their lifestyle.
Totem Cam two and three lobes placements
มุมมอง 22K8 ปีที่แล้ว
The Totem Cam is the unique cam that can be used loading two lobes. In this video, you can see how the Totem Cam can be used in placements where only two or three lobes are contacting the rock. In those placements the Totem Cam offers superior performance due to the ability to load only two lobes. This technique is not appropriate to protect from falls. The strength of the device will be the ha...

Totem Cam and Basic strength tests
มุมมอง 37K9 ปีที่แล้ว
The Totem Cam and Basic have marked their rated strength in kN. The strength depends on the cam size. Bigger is stronger is the rule. But... is the strength of the Totem Cam and Basic same when you place them with lobes almost closed or opened? The strength marked on the Totem Cam and Basic is always the lower of both (lobes opened and closed) results obtained in laboratory tests, but... what t...
Brilliant piece of engineering
joer ya se que son la ostia pero venderlos por 20e menos y se comprarian mas !!! yo al menos!!
Buenas, un video súper chulo, además en la preciosa pedriza, hay alguna forma de saber los sitios cuales son? Solo decir que para mi los totem son los mejores friends del mercado 👌
Pues si no me equivoco es la Pitufisura en la Pedriza, La aguja de las tres puntas y lo ultimo que sale el Risco de los principiantes.
What wax lube??
Can you build an anchor with a two or three lobe placement?
not ideal but depends on the chance of a fall from the second I guess.
Well done!!!
The music is so fucking loud!!! WTF!?
These are fantastic cams, they are far far more versatile than BD's, they fit in offset cracks, small pockets, can be placed safely with just a couple of lobes for aid and dicey placements... , the aluminum lobes are sticky and solid...HOWEVER, I have broke a totem green on a fall as the cam slipped down slightly in the fall to an area where the cam was expanded until one of the lobes was open fully. This lobes cables snapped on the fall - it still held, but it was unable to be replaced and Totem had to destroy it instead of replacing it. A BD cam wont do this as they have twin axles; these twin axles enable BD cams to hold a fall even if its used like a stopper. I am now adding more BD's as the second set for more options. Totems are superb cams, just be aware there are some small limitations on placement, and that those limitations are not he same as standard BD's!

Really nice! Congratulations!
Every manufacturer will use the Totem design when the patent runs out, it's simply the best design. Independent lobe loading will be the norm across all cams at some point in the near future.
Haven’t thought of tip 4, interesting.
I have c4s but why totems are better? I'm still building my rack so should I keep getting c4s or something else?
Have a go!! Once you try totems you'll never leave them at home, they're just perfect!!!
I love my totems; however, BDs do work in passive mode. Totems do not. This saved the other week. All that said, Totems are fantastic.
Dónde es el primer sitio? El segundo asumo que es La Pedriza, pero el primero no lo se. Gracias de antemano.
Egino, Álava. Se ve la hoya de La Leze creo que se escribe así. después de 4 años igual ni lo lees pero ahí queda eso.😁
Nice video except the music is way too loud relative to the volume of his voice. That snare drum especially is painfully loud if I make it loud enough to hear his voice comfortably
Fantastic!!
Haha! I love seeing this guy swinging around on a (BD) belay seat. This looks like it would be such a fun route to climb - perfect hands with a sick roof! Where is it??? :D
Why clip through the plastic loop instead of the sling? If the outer lobe is unloaded I'd imagine clipping the sling would behave as if if the sling running to the outer lobe was simply cut, in which case the force is applied directly to the plastic loop as your demonstrate. The difference I see is you're clipping slightly closer to the lobes which means you can step higher in ascenders, and potentially a smaller moment arm if the cam is not aligned with the direction of applied force.
Clipping the sling would apply a torque rotating the cam, clipping the "plastic loop" or more appropriately the steel cable covered in plastic, apply force only on those two cams, without trying to turn the axel
So amazing. Just ordered 4 sizes. I'm guessing I'll end up with all of them eventually. Black and Organge, come to the US
You can find the black and orange on US sites occasionally. Took awhile for me to find them but it was worth the wait.
Great video, I love the message! Can you tell me where they are climbing and what routes? I want to discover some new trad climbing spots for my totem cams!
Metaphorical. Harmonious. Beautiful. I'd love to know where is that magical place and what routes are these.
Maybe somewhere within the Catalonia region of Spain. I would also like to know the name of where they were climbing. The rock formations remind me a bit of one of our local crags but with more plentiful and nicer looking cracks in addition to being a larger area.
I always reach for my totems before my c4's. These things are bomb shelters!
Hey great video.... and the music is very good... which band is it?? venga venga from austria!!!
Hey Mikel, I'd love to see the same tests made with shock loading (clear drop) vs semi-static pull when it comes to the force application. Rarely when I am climbing do I 'slowly' apply 9kn of force, but I might reach that level when I suddenly take a large whipper...
Does it make a difference from a physics point of view if a force is applied in a short pulse or gradually? I imagine interesting things could happen if the pulse is extremely short, because then the force doesn’t have time to propagate through the material.
Big whippers actually create smaller impact forces than shorter falls with higher fall factors.
In a climbing fall the load is never applied immediately because your rope and hopefully a soft catch will disperse the energy of a fall. You are unlikely to ever create 9kn in a fall, unless something has gone wrong. Climb safe.
Hi, Whats kind of oil can i use for lubrificate totemcam??
Looks like the metolius cam lube bottle
