Damned good. If you wanna go with one type of cam on your rack, one set for free climbing, then this is the one. It'll do it all, and especially the bigger ranges. As for the small sizes, if it doesn't work active, you can place it passive! Sweet stuff

Hell, these work way better in small cracks than Camalots. I mean, Camalots have their place, but in a tiny slot, especially sandstone, FCUs are the way to go. Next to Aliens, these are my fave small cam, especially for free climbs. The bigger sizes walk a wee bit, though, and perform like a TCU more than I like.

Like others say, these work amazing where other cams don't, like in pockets and shallow placements. I also love the flexi-stem, and these are super dope for aid climbs. For free climbing they just place so easy, and I'm always confident on them, especially the smaller ones. I dunno why, but these and Metolius 4-cams are my faves.
