Fancy crack climbing à la Didier Berthod?
Small wedges in particular often have the problem on trad routes that they reach their load limits relatively quickly. Not so that IMP Brass Nut from DMM. The smallest size of the IMP Brass Nut is suitable for cracks from a width of 4 millimeters. The tiny thing achieves a strength of 4 kN. In other words: Comparably small clamping wedges from other manufacturers only have 50% of the strength.
The IMP Brass Nut achieve this strength with a simple but ingenious trick - the fixation of the wire loop is flexible, so that the force can be evenly distributed over the clamp body.
