The Wild Country Rockcentric has taken the traditional hex and brought it into the modern age. Attached to strong 12mm dyneema, the Rockcentric is further reduced in weight by the use of thin and light but strong alloys. It uses a combination of the best ideas behind the trusty old Hexentric with Rock geometry.
There are several reasons why Rockcentrics are so popular; a combination of curved sides seating much more effectively than the flat sided nuts, the ease of placement and removal as well as the light weight have all been important factors. Rockcentrics are very versatile, just one nut can provide four placement modes. Rockcentrics are on pre-sewn 12mm Dyneema so you can be confident in their rating of 12kn. Dyneema also gives flexibility and Rockcentrics can help reduce your overall rack weight. Rockcentrics suit every rack, from the eager beginner, to a seasoned climber wanting to push the boat out with less weight on the their rack. They are easy to select, easy to place, and extremely useful.

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.
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 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 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 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.
The DMM Nutbuster is an invaluable tool for retrieving jammed gear. It features a rubber handle that gives a firm grip that lets you bash the Nutbuster to remove stuck protection. It can also be removed to reveal a 17mm spanner that lets you tighten loose bolts. The Nutbuster is laser cut from stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, with holes cut into it to minimise weight. A versatile and functional tool that every trad climber should carry.
