Pound it into small cracks to aid upward progress. NOT strong enough to use as climbing protection. Arched spine clears bulges and bizarre features. Serrated teeth bite into soft rock. Weight: 0.5 ounce (14 g). Max Thickness: 1.10 inch (28 mm). Throw: 0.68 inch (17 mm).

Backcountry Description: The Black Diamond Pecker climbing tool has evolved from a lineage that began with the Crack'n-up and went through the Beak. The Peckers #1, #2 and #3 are the latest additions of thin-aid tools. Ideal for clean aid when speedy intermediary moves are necessary between sinker placements, any of the Peckers can be hand-set and cleaned quickly. When micro nailing, their double-tapered, thin, serrated blades hold solidespecially in softer rock. A new, swaged cable lifts out of the way when pounding the eyes during removal. Three sizes increase its varied usage and big wall magicians now have more tricks in their bag for dicey or intermediary placements. The largest size also works well in the mixed medium, offering additional options on mixed lines when small cracks or frozen turf are nature's only offerings. Vendor
