Mini Rocks

A neat and simple solution

 

These tiny units are currently our smallest offering and these diminutive versions of Rocks cover four sizes beneath a Rock One. Recently anodised to make identity easier they have also had subtle but important manufacturing improvements making them less prone to damage and improving their placement. To do this each nut is milled out at the top to allow the wires to seat properly inside the nut - rather than externally - protecting these small strands from damage and from blocking fit in tiny slots.

4 sizes of mini rocks

Current models of Mini-Rocks are unanodised - but still work absolutely fine!!!!!

Especially useful for the skinniest of thin cracks and seams these are essential kit for those pushing their grade and moving up to HVS/E1 or 5.8/5.9+ who will start to find themselves in more difficult territory. Those who do use them will find a whole world of useful placements open up to them and they'll always prove they're worth when the 'thank god' placement is made.


However, due to there small size it is not practical to add a curve and they remain the only flat sided nut in the Wild Country range meaning it is important to seat them carefully. It must also be noted that they are much smaller than Rocks and therefore have a much lower breaking strain, and again it is important to bear this in mind….

Features: Four sizes, Anodised colour coded, 7075 alloy, 3 Sigma rated, CE EN12270.

The following picture shows the anodised Mini-Rocks where it is also easy to see the new milled head which protects the wire by 'counter-sinking' it.
