Dragon Cam Size 7 Purple DMM

Professional Active Protection with Dual Axle Expansion

The Dragon Cam Size 7 Purple DMM is engineered for climbers and professional users requiring reliable protection across varying crack widths and placements. The dual axle design expands the usable range beyond traditional single axle cams, accommodating sub-optimal placements where precision sizing is challenging. This design philosophy reduces the number of units required to protect the same range, directly decreasing harness weight during demanding ascents. The purple colour coding integrates seamlessly with DMM's coordinated protection system, enabling rapid alternative selection if the primary choice proves incompatible with rock geometry.

TripleGrip Lobe Technology and Grip Performance

The TripleGrip lobes incorporate thickened profiles and machined aluminium contact surfaces that outperform standard anodised finishes. Precision-engineered micro edges catch crystal formations and rock imperfections, allowing the cam to bite aggressively and resist walking during dynamic loading. The reinforced lobe structure provides superior robustness under sustained tension, reducing deformation and enhancing longevity across repeated placements in granite, sandstone, and volcanic rock types.

Ergonomic Design and Extended Rack Efficiency

The hot forged thumb press delivers exceptional ergonomic balance, enabling one-handed placement and retrieval in high-fatigue situations where finger strength is compromised. This design innovation allows the Dragon to maintain the full 14kN strength rating despite incorporating an extendable sling—eliminating the strength penalty traditionally associated with extendable systems. Each cam can be racked independently on a single carabiner for rapid extension without additional quickdraws, substantially reducing rope drag on multi-pitch routes with directional changes.

Construction and Durability Standards

Built with precision engineering and hot forged components, the Dragon Cam Size 7 meets professional climbing standards for strength and reliability. The dual axle mechanism rotates freely through 360°, preventing binding and enabling smooth engagement across irregular crack profiles. Contact surfaces withstand repeated use without delamination, and the sling attachment points are reinforced for consistent performance across thousands of placements.

Recommended Use and Climber Profile

This cam suits traditional lead climbers, trad climbing specialists, and professional mountain guides protecting single and multi-pitch rock routes. Ideal for crack climbing on granite and mixed terrain, the Dragon Cam Size 7 serves climbers seeking weight reduction and placement versatility without sacrificing strength or security. Its expanded sizing range makes it valuable for intermediate and advanced climbers building comprehensive rack systems.
