Camp Copper Heads are single - use, malleable copper swages. They're easily shaped with a hammer and chisel, allowing for a custom fit in spots where other gear can't hold. Ideal for modern aid climbing routes, these swages are designed to support body weight. Here are the tech specs: Weight - (#0) 4g, (#1) 6g, (#2) 7g, (#3) 16g, (#4) 21g; Length - (#0) 10mm, (#1) 12mm, (#2) 12mm, (#3) 17mm, (#4) 17mm; Diameter - (#0) 4mm, (#1) 5mm, (#2) 6mm, (#3) 8mm, (#4) 10mm.
Using the Camp Copper Head swages is easy. First, find a spot on the climbing route where other gear won't hold. Take your hammer and chisel and shape the swage to fit the space. Remember, these are only for supporting body weight, so don't use them for other heavy - duty tasks. When you're done with a swage, since it's single - use, you can discard it. To keep them in good condition before use, store them in a dry place. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture, as it could affect the copper's malleability.
