Black Diamond ANGLE Pitons
| Angles span the
range from tips to hands and can be placed
in pods or pockets within a crack for greater
security. On extreme routes and aid climbs
an ANGLE forced by hammer into a shallow crack
and then tied off may afford more security
than a wobbly nut or cam. "Constructive
scaring techniques" (hammering upward
while cleaning) can "improve" this
intrusive placement and increase the possibility
of using a nut or cam on future ascents. |
