The Wild Country Rock is still the backbone of any good rack, the current incarnation is considerably more advanced than its predecessor and significantly lighter as well. Keeping the original ground-breaking curve, Rocks now come with thinner, lighter sidewalls, a lateral side taper, anodised heads for quick selection and an extended range – with fourteen sizes in all. Revolutionary when launched and still turning heads, the fully featured Rocks range are the benchmark units for the modern climber.
The Wild Country Rocks use the same colour scheme as DMM Wallnuts for easy mixing and matching.

The DMM Brass Offsets are a crucial tool for protecting small flared cracks, they often fit perfectly into spaces nothing else will fit into. The brass used for the head of the nut is soft enough to bite into placements, but hard enough to resist deforming and pulling through. Wires are soldered directly into the nut head, allowing a thicker wire to be used and increasing overall strength. The colour coded swage gives easy size selection and allows the Brass Offset to self equalise when loaded, making the most of marginal placements.
The DMM Halfnuts excel in shallow placements, pin scars and situations where every gram counts. If they look familiar it’s because they have the same tapered faces and side profile as DMM’s tried and tested Wallnuts. The combined weight of the 1-11 Halfnut sets are 42% lighter than the equivalent Wallnuts and they are similarly colour coded.
Despite their simple appearance, the DMM 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. The larger Wallnuts also feature hollow construction to reduce weight.
The Trango Ballnutz are clever camming devices that are not only quick to place, but also work in parallel sided placements where standard protection just won't work. They use a sliding ball-and-ramp that wedge against each other to hold in small parallel-sided cracks. Their holding power is so great that they provide excellent strength and fit where previously you could only hammer home a peg.
The Wild Country Rockcentric passive camming protection devices are a versatile piece of kit that suit every rack, whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned climber. They are incredibly light, easy to use and offer plenty of placement options. They come with colour coordinated Dyneema slings that make it easy to identify the different sizes, whilst the slings themselves help to keep the devices firmly wedged once placed.
The Wild Country Superlight Offset Rocks are the lightest passive protection devices on a size for size basis available in the world! Like all great designs, simplicity is at the core of the design and function of these superlight and secure beauties. They basically take the design of the existing Wild Country Rock, with it's time proven curve and added a radical side taper that adds a new dimension to protection. These are an absolute must for pretty much every rack out there.
The Metolius Feather Nut Tool is made from strong and hardwearing aluminium this nut tool from Metolius has a tapered head to remove the smallest of micro wires. The handle has a built in snap gate for racking and a larger surface area to push on with your palm. The real talking point of this nut tool is the weight. At only 21 grams this is the lightest nut tool we can find making it ideal for alpine rock routes or big walling where every gram counts.
The Wild Country Pro Key with Leash come with a precision ground tip which allows access to even the smallest slots and a wire gate at the top which allows it to clip directly to the harness. A one piece 'folded top' gives a bigger surface area to allow a firmer, and less painful, push with the palm. Large central holes help keep the weight down.
