Dragon Cam Size 3 Red DMM

Precision Expansion Cam for Climbing Protection and Rope Security

The Dragon Cam Size 3 Red DMM is a single stem, dual axle climbing protection device engineered for climbers who demand reliable placements in challenging crack conditions. This expansion cam features a substantial expansion range that accommodates varied rock formations and sub-optimal placements, ensuring you achieve the right positioning on your first attempt. The colour-coded red finish allows quick size identification during rapid rack selection, aligning seamlessly across DMM's passive and active protection range for coherent safety systems.

Advanced Lobe Technology and Holding Power

Equipped with TripleGrip lobes, this cam delivers exceptional holding performance across all rock types. The lobes feature machined aluminium contact surfaces—superior to anodised finishes—with additional micro-edges that grip crystal formations and micro-features, increasing bite and reducing slippage. The thickened lobe construction resists bending forces under load, providing 14kN strength rating for size 1 and above, guaranteeing reliable performance on sport climbs, crack climbing expeditions, and alpine routes.

Hot Forged Thumb Press and Ergonomic Design

The hot forged thumb press enables quick placement and retrieval without compromising durability. This ergonomic design stabilises handling during one-handed placements and minimises fumbling from pumped fingers or thick glove layers, critical on multi-pitch and winter climbing. The integrated extendable sling attachment allows each cam to function as a self-contained unit on a single carabiner, eliminating the need for multiple quickdraws while maintaining full strength integrity.

Weight Reduction and Rope Drag Management

By allowing extended placements without additional quickdraws, the extendable sling design significantly reduces rope drag on routes that change direction, traverse around corners, or cross overhanging terrain. Climbers can rack fewer units while protecting the same crack size range, minimising harness load and fatigue during long pitches. The dual axle design also provides greater overlap between sizes, reducing the total units needed in your rack.

Recommended Use and Climbing Applications

The Dragon Cam Size 3 Red DMM is ideal for sport climbers, crack specialists, alpine mountaineers, and multi-pitch route climbers seeking reliable, lightweight protection. Its superior expansion range and TripleGrip technology excel in granite, sandstone, and mixed rock climbing, from single-pitch crags to big wall ascents where rack weight directly impacts performance.
