To bring the #4 or not to bring the #4, is no longer the question/argument you’ll be having with your partner at the base of the route. The Black Diamond Ultralight #4 sheds more than two ounces off its C4 twin, so there’s literally no excuse not to bring this potentially crucial piece. If you’re not willing to update your entire rack to Ultralight Camalots, do yourself a favor and at least get the #4 Ultralight since it boasts the most significant weight savings.
The amount of weight savings in the larger cam sizes is really noticeable with the Black Diamond Ultralights. But of course, they’re expensive, so you have to pay for this privilege. How much is it worth to you to not be burdened down with a mega rack?
