Black Diamond Wired Hexentrics

Product Descriptions

RockCreek Description: Along with Stoppers, Hexentrics were the other half of the clean climbing revolution. Today's Wired Hexes from Black Diamond are light and extremely functional. Their classic hexagonal shape offers four different placement options in cracks. Hexes excel where other protection doesn't, like dirty cracks or in icy and wet conditions. An excellent foundation for anyone starting a rack, Wired Hexes are durable in design, lightweight, easy to place and anodized for easy identification.

Eastern Mountain Sports Description: Versatile, lightweight, passive protection. Asymmetric hexagonal design allows one hex to fit four different crack configurations. Great for constricting cracks and pockety walls. Thin cable works great in extremely bottlenecked placements and provides superior durability.

Backcountry Description: Black Diamond Wired Hexentrics offer cheap, lightweight protection for trad climbing. Each Hex offers four different placement options, so they'll fit a variety of cracks and can be worked into places where other forms of protection just don't cut it. Hexes are popular with alpine climbers because of their lightweight durability (alpine gear gets hammered) and as a low cost alternative to leaving behind an $80 cam when you're retreating off your latest epic.

SummitHut Description: Light and functional, these guys are good at what they do! Since their introduction in 1971, the classic Hexentric design has retained its relevance as an inexpensive, versatile and lightweight form of protection. Wired Hexes rack easier than their cord slung cousins, and are easy to place in even the most bottle necked of placements.
