For the slim and grim. Invented in 1987 by John Middendorf and originally brought to market as Lowe Balls, these have become the secret weapon of many aid and trad climbers. These little wonders will work in small parallel-sided cracks where the only other option is pounding a piton. Ball Nuts also work in pin scars and small flares where cams simply won't fit. Since they weigh so little, many advanced trad climbers keep a #2 and #3 on their rack at all times.

  • Rock Climbing, Aid Climbing
  • The smallest active protection in the world
  • Colour-coded for fast identification
  • Narrow depth fits shallower cracks than traditional camming units

Couple of my mates swear by them as the rock here has plenty of 'micro sized' cracks which really suit them.

I have some the Lowe ball nuts before they where called CAMP ones. They are great, fit in where you really need them, a couple of time I have placed them on some E1 routes where suposedly no gear and long run out and these found there way into some tiny cracks to give you that confinence to cheap moving. basicly a good buy!
