TOMAHAWKS provide a burly connection and
good support when placed in thin fissures
and seams. Often good hand placements can
be made in cracks that have previously felt
the blow of the hammer. After weighted,
these "clean climbing" TOMAHAWKS
can be removed by giving a good jerk via
sling in upper hole*. Heavy handed placements
(that felt the smack of your hammer) can
be cleaned by pounding upwards on the bottom
anvil, just under the head or downward on
the angled tab - to lever the blade straight
out. Should a TOMY be fixed and the cable
worn or damaged, don't despair - a sling
can be threaded through the large bottom
hole to save the day... and maintain the
placement! Likewise - if you're out of horizontal
blades - a TOMAHAWK can be substituted and
similarly tied off at the upper hole. Right
(right facing corners, with crack parallel
to face) Straight (straight in cracks) and
Lefts (left facing corners). A very versatile
thin crack piton / hook that's heck-a-lot
stronger than similar sized bronze or aluminum
nuts.
Pro tips: Have us add Ultratape
Slings to the top and bottom holes for maximum
strength and versatility. Rack by the top
sling so the pointy tip hangs down and away
from you... and less snagging as you move
up! Made in the California.
