Patented internal spring construction on size .5 (green) and above allows closer spacing of the cam lobes to reduce overall head width and placement where most 3 cam units won't even fit - like in pin scars, pockets and mini-huecos. With a total "head width" of just over 1 5/16" you will be able to venture and place protection of the ALIEN kind in places not previously thought possible.

Low profile stainless steel Concealed Control Sheath permits Aliens to be slotted in tight constrictions without the inherent hang ups that traditional cam units have - with their long, exposed control wires and wider triggers. With the Alien Trigger System you will never have to worry about straightening bent wires, replacing frayed cables or re-swaging loose connections! Ever. Place your Aliens deeper into cracks with confidence - CCH Cams "walk" less than other camming devices and also resist the effects of rope drag more effectively due to their relatively flexible single stem.

From soft sandstone pockets to flint hard granite splitters count on the machined-in teeth of CCH's Faceted Cam Faces to bite into the rock and deliver solid protection. Alien Cams rack well, are famously easy to place and extremely popular with crag climbers, alpinists and aid climbers alike. UIAA tested and approved. 7/8" (second knuckle) size now available. Sewn Ultratape slings included.

Features:

Internal Cam Springs allow a much more compact camming unit. With this system, Aliens fit into smaller placements and have more cam surface area per width than other units.

---

Control Sheath operation allows true flexibility of the main cable stem AND solid cam control. Cam walk and placement change are minimized. Deeper placements are possible, but don't place the stem over sharp edges or so that permanent bending or damage will occur when the unit is weighted. Secure grip and control. Easy clipping and racking are provided by the cable loop. Aliens are available with or without a sewn Spectra runner.

---

Axles are machined from hardened stainless steel which is corrosion proof and resists flex. Also. the Internal Spring system allows the axle length to be minimised, which results in a short and virtually unbendable axle.

---

Cams are machined from 6061-T6 Aluminium extrusions, a grippy alloy with TEETH.

---

Moderate cam angle of 16 degrees for greater holding power.

---

Sturdy aluminium handle and top puller are crimped to woven stainless tubular sheath material. A tubular nylon "Sock" provides abrasion resistance. The sheath can be taped, but don't tape tightly or it will cause drag in the operation.

---

Quality connections. The main cable is individually silver brazed 10mm deep to the stainless cable eye fitting. Nicopress copper cable fittings are used for the swaged connections.

---

Quality control. All machined parts are manufactured in our shop with modern computer numeric controlled equipment. This allows us to control the manufacturing processes from start to finish, eliminating possible errors from outside contractors.
