Product Description

Superlight Rocks are another breakthrough innovation by Wild Country. These brilliantly versatile nuts utilise two existing technologies: the extrusion from the bestselling Rock with the soldered sleeve from the Zeros to create a light hybrid unit. Designed to complement any rack by combining extreme light weight with a wide range of placements; their reduced width means they will fit in places where current wider nuts won't and grab shallow placements and pinscars brilliantly - 3-Sigma rated.

Aimed at: All climbers who wish to extend their rack with some versatile light nuts. But may appeal most to big wallers Alpinists and hardcore 'trad' climbers more desperate than anyone else to shave weight.

Placements: Superlight Rocks have a big advantage over many other small nuts in that as they are cut from 'Rock' extrusion they are ideal to be placed exactly as you would place a normal Rock. This takes advantage of the curved sides for grip OR their side tapers make them ideal for getting extra hold in pinscars and other shallow slots.

Weight Saving: For those who want to shave weight from their rack the Superlights weigh in at 90grams for 6 instead of 164grams for a normal Rock 1 -6 a saving of around 45% - not to be sniffed at in this day and age.

  1. Good for peg scars

    Posted by Ben Burns on 9th Sep 2010

    After a shop assistant at an outdoor store trying to convince me that these are now obsolete since the release of DMM HB brass offsets, I bought a set anyway. His reasoning was that the DMM brass offsets are stronger due to two wires and have better bite due to the softer metal. I know i’ll be getting a set of offsets anyway so bought these to back up my small WC nuts (which are missing some sizes). Absolutely love them for peg scars and quarried grit and I seem to spend most of my time placing them on the “wide” axis. They’re so light it’s not gear I see worth leaving behind. I wouldn’t recommend them for small nut replacement, and if you want micro wires there is definitely better out there. But if you’re looking for a decent set of nuts that offer more placement opportunities that the full size wild country 1-6 with minimal extra weight then these are for you. 4 stars as I love them for peg scars but I'd like to try alternatives such as DMM offsets and Black Diamond Swedges.
