Nuts

DMM are all trad climbers at heart and understand that placing protection on traditional climbs is a real art. Thankfully, living in Snowdonia, it is something they have ample opportunity to practice. All around them are classic mountain crags and sea cliffs where we can test out our new gear designs.

Cracks come in all shapes and sizes, some are tiny, and some are big enough to swallow a fist. Some are curved, some are parallel, some are knobbly, and some are just plain awkward. What you need hanging on your rack is a range of nuts that will be able to cope with these natural variations.

DMM's current range offers state of the art designs with real attention to detail. They are also extremely light; a big rack is no longer a heavy rack.

Wallnuts are their benchmark in nut design. A set of these, usually with double ups in the small to medium sizes, is the basis of a good quality rack. Think of it as the platform upon which you can build your own personalised system.

Obviously we would encourage you to invest in a diverse variety of nuts. The more choice you have, the better your chance of staying safe.

With micro nuts in particular it is always worth having a decent selection, as you may need to cluster the placements. They also don’t weigh very much so even doubling the number you carry will have little effect on the overall weight of your rack.

Whatever placements you encounter on the crag, DMM are confident that one of their nuts will give you the best possible fit.

Wallnuts are a long established favourite across the world. This classic wired nut has a carefully designed shape that gives you the best possible chance of getting a good solid placement every time.

Over the years DMM have continued to refine and improve the design. Modern production techniques have allowed us to make huge reductions in the weight, but without sacrificing strength or durability. The tried and tested Wallnut shape has been enhanced by adding a scoop to improve security in shallow placements.

DMM have also colour coded them to make size selection easier. The energy you will save by making speedy nut placements could be the difference between success and failure on a route.

The colours are compatible with other nut brands, so if you’re thinking of mixing and matching, or want to switch brands entirely you won’t have to get used to a new colour/size pattern.
