ANGLE Pitons
| Angles span the
range from tips to hands and can be placed
in pods or pockets within a crack when an
ALIEN or C3 just won't fit securely. Today
it's also customary to carry an assortment
of full length and "sawed off" angles
on specific aid routes for hand placing in
old piton scars. On new aid lines an ANGLE
can be hammered into a shallow crack and then
tied off to reduce leverage and provide more
security than a wobbly nut or cam. Do practice
"constructive scaring" (hammering
upward while cleaning) which will increase
the possibility of using a nut or cam on subsequent
ascents. Made in USA. |
