The Wild Country Superlight Offset Rocks are the lightest passive protection on a size for size basis size in the world! This in itself is hugely significant for all of us lightweight obsessed climbers, but combine that with the fact that they seem to fit just as well and in some cases even better than normal Wild Country Rocks, in a wider range of placements makes them an absolute must for pretty much every rack out there.
Less is more. Subtle, superlight and secure, Superlight Offset Rocks are by far the lightest passive pro per size in the world. Simple, yet incredibly effective, they combine the proven curve of Rocks with a radical side taper that adds a new dimension to protection. Intuitive and easy to place, they’re perfect for trimming a rack without cutting down options. An instant classic, and a big hit with our testers, all that’s missing from these slimline superstars is weight.

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 Offset Nuts are made with anodised alloy and are available individually as a size 7-11 set. These are bigger and more rounded than their brass brothers. Based on the famed HB design this anodised alloy offset set gets you placement where no other nut can because of their complex offset shape. Especially useful on granite cracks and colour coded for easy selection off the harness.
The DMM Peenut are small offset nuts (available individually or as a 1 to 5 set) are specifically designed for flared cracks and shallow placements, but seem to fit everywhere. Found to be particularly effective on Cornish Granite. Now colour-coded for quick identification.
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 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.
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 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 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.
