ALIEN X EQUINOX SET

Alien X is the sixth generation of the micro cam first patented in 1986 in Colorado, USA. It retains its original character with a new version that enhances its finishing and performance.

Alien X Equinox Set

The Alien X Equinox Set includes three essential sizes of the renowned Alien X micro cam: green (1/2), yellow (3/4), and red (1). This set is a go-to choice for climbers of all levels seeking versatility and precision in cracks of various sizes, while maintaining the ergonomics and ease of use that make Alien X so popular.

• Set of three: Green (1/2), yellow (3/4), and red (1).
  • Green Alien: Expansion range from 13.8 to 20.8 mm (0.57 to 0.81 in).
  • Yellow Alien: Expansion range from 16.1 to 25.7 mm (0.63 to 1.01 in).
  • Red Alien: Expansion range from 20.3 to 33.4 mm (0.80 to 1.31 in).
• X-grip cam lobes: Provide enhanced grip on initial use, increasing security and stability in demanding placements.
• Passive placement function: Larger sizes (yellow and red) are versatile enough to function as passive placements, increasing their usability on rock.
• Advanced ergonomics: The redesigned trigger allows for fast and comfortable handling, even with gloves, enabling efficient placement and removal in critical situations. The extended distance between trigger and lobes improves accessibility in tricky cracks.

Quality and Manufacturing Precision

Handcrafted in Barcelona, the Alien X cams in the Alien X Equinox Set reflect a commitment to quality and technical detail, making these micro cams a reliable, robust tool. Each Alien X is built with a solid, compact structure featuring a riveted metal junction that ensures a homogeneous and durable construction.

Lightweight and Flexible

The lightweight, low-volume design of the Alien X reduces harness weight, while its flexibility absorbs rope movements, minimizing the chance of lobes shifting after placement. Additionally, the classic colors (green, yellow, and red) remain a visual reference in climbing guides, providing intuitive organization in your gear.

True to Its Origins

• Lightweight and compact: Reduces harness weight and storage space in your backpack.
• Flexibility: Absorbs rope movement, preventing lobes from shifting once placed.
• Lobe geometry design.
• Size colors: These colors have become a visual reference in climbing guides over the last 30 years.

Note: The name "Equinox" was suggested by Toni Yaniro, a renowned American climber, following a historic equinox ascent in Joshua Tree in 1979, an event that marked a turning point in climbing.
