Climbing Nuts, the removable safety for climbing
Your faithful companions as a traditional climber, your climbing nuts will follow you everywhere to climb safely, leaving no trace and respecting nature. Whether on long routes in the Verdon, along the cracks of Annot, or in a dihedral at Ailefroide, these removable safety systems are essential for traditional climbing. Placing climbing nuts requires practice and vigilance in choosing a secure location and an appropriate nut. Wisely wedged on the cliff, this piece of technology will allow you to catch your falls and progress on unbolted routes. Don't forget to retrieve your gear on your descent or hand it over to your second, as it may serve you for new ascents. To assist you in your practice, you can use a hammer for pitons or a nut tool.
Nut, stopper, wired or dual ... each rock has its favourite
This climbing safety system has been designed to adapt to the demands of the cliff, and it's up to you to choose the appropriate climbing nut for each situation. Friends, pitons or nuts, depending on the natural characteristics of the wall, choose the right passive protection. First and foremost, inform yourself about the composition of the rock you are climbing on. Indeed, sandstone does not have the same properties as limestone, which is more brittle and will require a more malleable nut. The choice of the head width, the connection with the carabiner, whether in cable or loop, will depend on the crack where you wish to secure yourself. Be sure to read your route carefully to know which nut to use at which moment. Your entire trust will rest on the mechanical nuts and their robust cams, which will necessarily influence your performance. Learn to place your stopper in the correct tension direction to ensure your safety.
