About this item

  • Innovative Camming Mechanism: Featuring a sliding copper head, BallNutz securely cam into the rock, ensuring exceptional stability for climbers.
  • Versatile Placement: BallNutz are designed to fit into tight spots where traditional protection methods like piton pounding are the only alternative, making them a versatile choice for various climbing styles.
  • Ideal for Trad and Aid Climbing: Whether you're a trad or aid climber, BallNutz offer specialized small crack protection, enhancing your safety and confidence during climbs.
  • Diverse Size Range and Weight Options: BallNutz come in a comprehensive range of sizes and weights, from 31g to 73g, covering a broad spectrum of crack widths from 3.7mm to 17.5mm. This versatility allows climbers to select the perfect BallNutz for any crack size and tailor their rack to specific climbing needs.


The three smallest sizes have a 2:1 expansion range, resulting in unmatched security in chossy rock or expanding flakes. The #4 and #5 sizes will make you wonder why you ever used tiny cams. While these units are excellent for clean aid (they were even used for the first clean ascent of the Shield), they’re also terrific for protecting free climbs.

Super light, barely takes up room on your harness, fits where basically nothing else fits. A true lifesaver during bad times, and a "thank god" piece for thin climbing the rest of the time. There's a bit of a learning curve for cleaning at times but it's worth it.

I love climbing and way back when got to try out this form of friction anchors. They work better in my opinion on really small cracks that cams have a hard time fitting in and they are rated at a higher weight (kN) when set properly so it was really a win-win in that aspect. Perfect hybrid between nuts and cams, with about similar status in cost.The product arrived in new condition with no signs of wear or tear (or just even use)

An interesting and ingenious setup. These little nut/cam hybrids can slip into very narrow and hard to reach areas. They feel solid when placed, and are easy to clean.I would retire these earlier than I would retire cams or regular nuts. I havent taken a fall on one yet but I would bet the ball would end up warping or ending up misshapen.

These are easy and fast to place, especially nice when you're pushing your climbing grade. I've haven't taken a fall on one yet, but setting and cleaning them gives me confidence.
