Rope slipping despite tightening
Ensure the rope is within the 3-9mm diameter range and is not excessively frayed. Check that the cam mechanism is clean and free of debris. Pull the rope firmly to engage the cam properly.
Difficulty engaging the cam
Verify the rope diameter is correct. Clean any dirt or grit from the cam mechanism. Ensure the rope is fed through the mechanism correctly according to the chosen attachment system.
