Camp-Cassin

CAMP is a very old and traditional company. It is at home in Italy. In Pramana, just east of Lago di Lecco.

The name stands for Costruzione Articoli Montagna Premana. The logo embodies the silhouette of the local mountain, directly above the company headquarters.

The brand is now one of the established names in mountain sports and work at heights. Here you will find selected hardware. Such as ice climbing axes, crampon, quickdraws etc.

Company history
The company was founded back in 1889, when the blacksmith Nicola Codega opened a small blacksmith’s workshop with an adjoining store.

In 1920, his son Antonio began producing ice axes for the mountain troops. This marked the beginning of the company’s development into a mountain sports specialist.

Another new chapter begins in 1950. CAMP begins to produce orders for Riccardo Cassin ‘s company. For the first time, piton and also expansion bolt and carabiners are produced. This heralded the company’s complete specialization in mountain sports products.

The first trade fair visit to Germany as an exhibitor followed in 1968. In 1969, the world’s first aluminum lightweight ice axe is launched. The “Cerro Torre”. The first modular ice axe followed in the 1980s. The “Hummingbird” and the “Footfang crampon”.

In 1987, the company launched the first lightweight carabiner made from “aircraft aluminum”. The “33 gram” lays the foundation for the current top models“Nano 22“,“Photon” and“Dyon“.

The new products help to expand the markets. An international sales network begins to be built up. This is where the many innovations are marketed. First and foremost the lightweight aluminum gear and lightweight climbing helmets. Today, the brand delivers to 84 countries worldwide.

In 1997, the brand took over its competitor Cassin. In 1998, a new market area was opened with the “Safety” division. This leads to the creation of the new R&D Center in 2007.

Finally, a major re-branding will take place in 2023. With a new logo and new social and ecological responsibility.
Our CAMP focus areas
We have clearly structured our range for this brand.

On the one hand, for activities such as ice climbing, technical mountaineering or big wall gear. And secondly, for the best products, such as lightweight climbing helmets or lightweight carabiners.

We present the most important categories below.
Ice climbing
In our store we offer a focus on Camp products for ice climbing. This is where the Italians have earned an excellent reputation. For example, with the X-Dream ice climbing axe, the Blade Runner crampon and the short Rocket XS ice screws.

Light crampons
We carry a range of very light aluminum crampon from the XLC series.

390 stands for the rocker lever binding. 470 stands for the combi binding. And 490 for the classic binding.

So we offer the right solution for every type of shoe!

CAMP climbing helmets
THE flagship helmet of this brand is the “Storm”. It is a very lightweight helmet. Due to its low “thickness”, it is extremely light on the head.

It also has a good fit for many climbers. It is one of the most popular models in our store. Alpine climbers in particular appreciate its small dimensions and low weight.

Lightweight carabiners
As already mentioned. CAMP manufactures a range of lightweight carabiners.

The Nano 22 is the ultra flyweight. This is why it is often used to equip cams – friends in the “rack Pack”.

The “Photon” is one step larger and is also often used for camalots and the like.

And our third model is the Dyon carabiner. No other model in the world is as easy to clip as this one. This is due to its innovative closure.

Tricams
CAMP has been producing this classic since the early 1990s. This is a special nuts. It develops a high clamping force under load due to the developed torque.

This makes the Tricams a very good addition to friends. Especially in the Dolomites there are good placement possibilities for this type of wedge.
piton & Hooks
The traditional Italian company has always remained true to its roots. This is also evident in the product range. It is one of the few suppliers that still offers a large selection at piton.

You want to put together your own big wall gear? Then you’ve come to the right place!

Cheap CAMP climbing harnesses
With the Energy series, the Italians offer very affordable entry-level models.

These inexpensive harnesses have proven themselves with many climbers. They are a legitimate alternative to the expensive high-end models.

Here, it is mainly parents who choose this option for their children.

Climbing backpacks
With the “M Series”, CAMP offers a ready-made solution for climbers. Namely a model series that is clearly structured according to volume.

These climbing bags are available in 20 liters (M20), 30 liters (M30) and 45 liters (M45). This means that everything is covered, from multi-pitch routes and long alpine routes to north faces.

Here too, the brand once again demonstrates its penchant for “lightness”. All models are among the lighter ones on the market. They fit seamlessly into the “light & fast” philosophy.
