The DMM Protection Pack 3 is a great starter pack for anyone looking to get into trad climbing or just to top up their Up and Under Trad Pack! This set from DMM makes the perfect starting point for building a comprehensive climbing rack.
The DMM Protection Pack 1 is a great starter pack for anyone who wants to get into trad climbing or just as a top up to the Up and Under Trad Pack, see below on page.
The Wild Country Rocks are lighter than the Classic Rocks and feature a colour identification system which makes it easy to differentiate between sizes. They have a longer profile and a gentle side taper which helps with ease and security of placement. Now available in fourteen sizes and keeping their ground-breaking curved design, the Wild Country Rocks are the backbone of any good rack! Whether you're just starting or or a seasoned climber, you can't go wrong with a set of Rocks.
The DMM Torque Nuts are designed to work in a similar fashion to Rockcentrics meaning they can be placed passively at a constriction or cammed into place in parallel cracks thanks to their offset edges. Additionally they are racked on extendable dyneema allowing the nuts to be neatly stowed on your harness and then extended when placed, eliminating then need for extra quickdraws. Four sizes are available covering a very wide range of large cracks.
The DMM Micro Wallnuts are for use in extremely narrow cracks where a normal Wallnut size 1 is too big. The large contact surface area of the Micro Wallnuts allows them to spread loads over a greater area of rock, decreasing the chance of the rock failing. They feature straight sides to give alternative placement options to our other alloy micro-protection. Used in conjunction with Peenuts they provide comprehensive protection for small cracks in friable rock.
The DMM IMP Brass Nuts are invaluable for those pushing into harder grades and need to take advantage of all protection options. The brass alloy used in their construction means that the nuts lock into the rock incredibly well, whilst also resisting being pulled through the placement. These are soldered directly on to wires, allowing a thicker wire to be used and increasing the strength of the IMP. The swage on the wire is colour coded for quick size selection, and allows one side of the wire to slide, letting the IMP self equalize when loaded and increasing placement security.
The new Metolius Ultralight Asymmetric Curve Nuts have an asymmetric taper for greater stability in flaring placements. They are awesome for pin scars and the straight-sided taper makes it easy to judge placement quality. Also, they are 30% lighter than the competition, have anodized heads, and color-coded collars to match the cam colours.
The DMM Wallnut Set is the backbone of every trad pack and an essential in building a comprehensive rack. Complemented by other, more specialised pieces of protection, they are guaranteed to be the most regularly used piece of protection on your harness. Wallnuts are highly featured pieces of climbing hardware. Different alloy is used for each size - smaller Wallnuts are made from a harder alloy to prevent shearing, while larger sizes are softer so they can bite into placements. Larger Wallnuts feature hollow construction to reduce weight.
