Cam failure discussion 21-Apr-2015 At 2:24:22 PM jezza

There's a weird cam placement on No Future at Araps, just before the mantle before the traverse. A few years ago I talked myself into an onsight attempt at the end of a day's climbing. Placed the cam, tugged it, looked bomber. Took a small fall going over the mantle, cam popped!!

I was slightly freaked out, but figured I must have missed something when I'd placed that cam. When I jumped back on and went past that crack (green C4?), I couldn't see anything wrong with it. Maybe it was _very_ slightly flaring, but with Araps quality rock a flare like that isn't a problem. It still looked like an excellent placement. I still don't know what it popped. It still freaks me out a little!! If anyone is interested it's the smallish slot feature below the mantle. I would like to solve the mystery. I suspect it's glassy in there.
