July 1, 2011- Spanish Aliens Unleashed

The original American-made CCH Alien camming units had a strong following with climbers that appreciated their unique low-profile head and highly flexible stem. Unfortunately, a widely publicised series of failures and the death of the company owner led to CCH eventually stopping production. It now seems that the Spanish company Fixe-Faders has bought the patent and the original manufacturing equipment and plans on releasing Aliens again to global market. More details here.
