Nuts – Climbing Equipment
-
Nuts are a means to create a temporary anchor in a rock face. They are simply a small block of metal attached to a loop of cord or wire. The most popular styles are tapers and Hexcentrics. Nuts are used by simply wedging them into narrowing cracks in the rock, then giving them a tug to set them.

Nut tool / Nut key – Climbing Equipment
-
A nut tool is used to extract ‘Nuts’ from cracks in the rock as some can not be extracted so easily by hand – this is especially the case when the nut has supported a climber's weight or taken a fall. A nut tool is made from a flat piece of sheet steel which about 20cm long, with a hook at one end and the other end shaped into a handle.
