Metolius Ultralight TCU

Using Direct Axle Technology, Metolius removed every unneeded scrap of material from the Ultralight TCU to make it as lightweight as possible, while maintaining the ultra-strong construction that Metolius is known for.

TCUs by Metolius are great for both alpine and free climbing where weight is a critical factor. Aid climbers also love 'em because their narrow head width allows them to fit so many placements that other cams won't - like shallow seams - pockets and pin scars. Now with the Range Finder feedback system - they are easier and safer to place than ever! The stainless steel - U-shaped body offers greater durability than single-stem units and unparalleled control during placement and retraction. As with all Metolius cams - the design is focused on holding power. Metolius TCUs are a must-have for any climber's rack!By going direct to the axle (D.A.T.) Metolius has made the world’s best selling mini cam even lighter and more versatile. This new technology makes the TCU’s the lightest units in the world - opens up a myriad of placement options and makes placement easier.
