DMM Dragon Cam - Size 7

Season:AW24

Brand:DMM

Code:7001244

You think big. You get big. It's time to welcome the newset siblings to the Dragon Cam family. For those tricky, hard to protect wide cracks, it's time you added a number 7 and 8 to your rack. The number 7 and 8 Dragons are for the difficult-to-protect wide cracks up to 195mm (7.5 inches). Of course, they share the same amazing features as the smaller Dragons, including the hot forged lobes and spindle block with a complex, yet lightweight design as described below:

DMM's ever popular Dragon cams have been given a make over and now feature new Triplegrip cam lobes and a ergonomic forged thumb press. The Dragons now have greater holding power and don't 'walk'.

The Triplegrip cam lobes offer an increased surface contact area with a raw aluminium finish and additional bite points. These features combine to increase friction between the cam lobe and the rock. The result is greater holding power and reduced walking, particularly in slick or soft rock types and sub-optimal placements.

Single stem, dual axle design gives our Dragons 360° flexibility and the greatest expansion range, increasing both performance in sub-optimal placements and your chance of getting the right piece first time.

The hot forged thumb press improves ergonomics while reducing the chance of a fumble from gloved hands or pumped fingers, while the extendable sling cuts down on quickdraws needed to extend placements, significantly reducing weight on your harness. The design of the thumb press means that the strength of the Dragon suffers no compromise when the sling is extended.

The Dragons low weight does not compromise its strength – they are rated to a huge 14kN from size 1 upward and the additional material in the lobes has improved their resistance to deformation.

Make sure you service your cams so they last longer. Find out how in our Cam Care Guide

Buyers Guide - How to choose Choose a Traditional Climbing Rack

Excited to be buying the first bits of lead gear to build your trad rack? So are we!

Our climbing gear walls have been described as some of the best in Europe (by our International Reps who know a thing or two) and as boulderers, sport climbers, trad climbers and mountaineers ourselves we LOVE to talk about gear. Both the Joe Brown shops, and The Climbers Shop have been supplying climbers and expeditions since 1966 and 1959 respectively, we were founded by climbers and the only thing we love more than talking about gear is actually going climbing ourselves. We don’t just learn about what’s the best kit to use – we know what’s the best kit to use……..


- What is the first piece of protection I should buy?

- What length Quickdraws are best?
- Why are there so many different lengths slings?
- How do I choose which karabiners to add?
- Can I lead if I don’t own any cams?
- Do I really need to carry Prusik Loops?
- How do I know when my gear has worn out?




Top tips to make the right choice:

Go shopping with your mate and/or someone more experienced so you buy the right thing for the routes you climb and, more importantly, gear that compliments each other’s racks.

Tag your gear so that you know who’s is who. We sell purpose made tags or you could use your own personal design of insulation tape.

Buy a length of rope off the reel and practice your knots so they become second nature. Tying a clove hitch one handed without bending your fingers looks REALLY cool!

Regularly tie yourself to a stair banister so you can prefect your belaying skills and be super slick out on the crag. It saves time and means you can enjoy the route and make it back to the pub to revel in your success.

Join a club – it’s the cheapest way to learn and you’ll have an instant pool of climbing partners or hire an Instructor or Guide to learn loads of great tips and techniques.

Technical Information
DMM’s patented TripleGrip lobes are the result of extensive research into the factors governing friction between a cam’s contact surface area and the rock it’s placed in. They’ve increased this friction by machining a raw aluminium finish with additional bite points onto the surface of the lobes themselves. Wider lobes are also stiffer, allowing them to resist deformation to a greater degree.

As a result the new Dragons excel in slick or soft rock and make the most of sub-optimal placements, giving you confidence when you need it most.

- Raw aluminium finish gives greater friction between the cam and the rock
- The TripleGrip surface triples the number of pronounced edges that ‘bite’ crystals and micro-features in the rock. Together with a larger surface area this gives increased holding power and reduces walking
- TripleGrip cam lobes give increased holding power and reduce walking
- Dual axle, single stem design for 360° flexibility and a large expansion range
- Ergonomic, hot forged thumb press with extendable 8mm Dyneema sling
- 13.75° cam angle for high holding power
