Rocks
(wired rocks)
The original curved nut and probably the best selling piece of pro’ ever,
Wild Country Rocks have had a makeover to bring them back to the forefront
of technology. As the ‘building blocks’ of any rack it is imperitive that
the form and function of Rocks was as effective as possible. Here are
some of the new updates:
Four new sizes 11 – 14 The first and most obvious of the changes
was to extend the usefulness of the pieces by increasing the size range.
This meant a great wired equivalent to the mega-useful Rockentrics, a
simple and cheap equivalent to bigger cams for those just starting out,
and a better tool for winter climbing
Sizes 7 - 14 Lighter & thinner The side-walls on sizes 7-14 have
been re-worked to optimise their strength to weight ratio making these
new units incredibly light for their size. This was a slightly more difficult
task and required a lot of testing to optimise this to get the correct
strength to weight ratio but has resulted in a substantial weight saving,
meaning you can carry more for less. There is around a 14% wt. saving
on average.
Anodised
color coding - Supercool matt anodising makes Rocks easier to distinguish
and faster to select. Also important to note that each color co-ordinates
with the equivalent Friend and Zero size as well as all other color coded
Wild Country products.
Tapered sides - a neat five degree side cut gives new and more
solid ‘end-on’ placement possibilities. Again a simple modification but
one which we feel gives more possibilities and extends the range of placements
and therefore the versatility of every nut.
