Discover the world's tiniest active protection! These color-coded Camp Ball Nuts are a breeze to identify quickly. With a narrow depth, they can fit into shallower cracks better than traditional camming units. Ideal for slim and challenging spots. Invented in 1987 by John Middendorf and first sold as Lowe Balls, they've become the go - to secret tool for many aid and trad climbers. They work great in small parallel - sided cracks where your only other choice would be to use a piton. They also perform well in pin scars and small flares where modern micro cams just won't fit. Since they're so lightweight, many advanced trad climbers always keep a #2 and #3 on their gear rack.
How to use: When you're climbing and find a small parallel - sided crack, pin scar, or small flare, take out your Camp Ball Nut. Identify the right size easily thanks to the color - coding. Insert it into the opening firmly. It'll provide reliable protection. Note: These nuts are designed for small spaces, so don't try to force them into larger cracks where they won't fit properly. Maintenance: After each use, give your Camp Ball Nuts a quick clean to remove any dirt or debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rusting. With proper care, they'll serve you well on many climbing adventures.
