These workhorse pins are stamped and shaped from CrMo steel for super durability. The design, coupled with the spring-like nature of the steel used gives these pitons inherently high holding power.

When it Gets Thin...Pound in a Pin.

By: Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete

If you are into first ascents, or aid climbing, or want to make it back to the ground safely on a big alpine climb, there is no arguing the value of the good old fashioned piton. When I'm heading up a big first ascent in the mountains I like to have a few blades, a few arrows and most importantly a handful of baby angles on the rack. I can't say enough about how useful baby angles are for creating solid rappel anchors, or establishing a bomber piece of whipper catching pro in a funky crack where a solid cam is next to impossible to place. If you need these things....you really need them. If you are doing nail ups on el cap....you really need them...if it is a knife blade crack...you really need them...If you have ever pounded in a pin and heard the pinging singing of a bomber placement placed to the hilt, you know the primal joy of nailing.

What can I say, it's a piton, pound away until it rings true!

obscure uses

The #1 (1/2") angle fits perfectly in a 12mm drilled hole (standard Petzl bit size). Consider carrying one of these, a hammer and a drill along with the rest of your kit for more serious canyoneering routes. Hopefully you'll never need it!

Best angled pins in the entire world

By: Backcountry.com Employee

Not too much competition out there in this category, but even so, Black Diamond does it best. My only question is: why don't they make sawed off pins too? Hack sawing makes my arm hurt.
