Ray Jardine is an American rock climber. He is well known for inventing Cams which ushered in a revolution in trad climbing, making climbs that were previously unprotectable possible.

Ray put his new invention to excellent use, establishing routes such as The Phoenix in 1977, then one of the hardest trad routes in the world.

More controversially he was also involved in chipping on El Capitan, in particular in an early attempt to free climb The Nose he chipped holds on what is now known as The Jardine Traverse as well as purposefully using pegs to enlarge peg scars and make free climbing those pitches easier.
