Nuco – First Gen (Totem Basic)

*This is the first generation of Nuco. This product is exactly the same cam as the Basic from Totem and as far as we know, we are the only store worldwide carrying this product. Because it was made couples of years ago we thought not to put them on sale but due to the popularity and lack of the Basic from Totem MT, we decided to put them back in stock and make them available to the climbing community. The Nuco are not affected by any recall. See Kailas Nuco Second Generation for more choice or Kailas Nuco Full Set.

NUCO Cams, with innovative design and powerful property, is the best choice to tackle the narrow crack.

• The built-in spring makes the head of the cam smaller.

• The edge of the cam is processed into rounded corners so that the cam can better fit in with the rock and enlarge the friction area.

• The cam is made of 6061-T and through CNC digital control technology.

• The cam pull utilizes strong steel wire ropes and fixed systems, which keeps the cam in the correct position.

• With the powerful spring, the cam can fully extend itself to stay against the rock, and with its extraordinarily pliable and tough it will not shift slowly because of the shake of the rope or other factors, which plays a decisive role in climbing in complex areas.

• The mixed size (hybrid size 1.5HY, 1.8HY and 2.2HY) is sort of asymmetrical design, namely, the two cams of one side are big in size while the two cams of the other side are small, which is particularly designed for the internally-small and externally-big horn-shaped crack.
   
• To obtain stronger friction force, we don’t color the cam (coloring means anodic oxidation treatment, which can change the surface hardness of the aluminum alloys and as a it’s not easy for the cam to “penetrate” into the rock).

• The unique high-frequency hot melt processing procedure guarantees the high intensity of each cam.

• The movable two fold nylon protective cover prevents the cam from wear and tear.

• High-intensity Dyneema slings are adopted.

• The shorter trigger stroke helps to achieve more accurate and stable operation.

• The size number is represented by the crack width (cm) for optimal setting for each cam, i.e. the value obtained when the extension scope of the cam is about 33%. Therefore the size number shows the application condition more clearly.

• 7 sizes available with color coding for quick selection.

• Made in Spain
