Black Diamond Stopper Set #4-13

Since 1971, Black Diamond has been refining the exceptional geometry of its Stoppers to provide micro-protection that stays put. Their bomber performance ushered in the age of clean climbing and has made them a staple of every climber's rack for nearly three decades. Rounded corners assist "cleanability," reducing the possibility of the nuts getting caught on irregularities inside cracks. SET INCLUDES BLACK DIAMOND OVALWIRE CARABINER.

Bottom Line: Includes stoppers 4-13 (as you might have guessed) AND a free biner, nice!

Stoppers are tried and true. They are always on my rack up to a number 11 or 12. I find the 13 to be heavy and a bit floppy and cams easily cover the size and are as light if not lighter. I rack mine on 2 carabiners...3 - 7 and 8 - 12 for easier placement with less nuts to deal with. I know the 3 is not in this set but I add a couple smaller nuts in to take it down if necessary. If I am going light in the Tetons, I will take a set of BD Stoppers and call it good. Enjoy!

No! But every once in a while you find small constrictions on a route, and you can definitely use small nuts here and there at the Creek (the first pitch of Lightning Bolt Cracks on North Six Shooter, and Inflictor at Broken Tooth come to mind). I prefer the Metolius stoppers myself.

There are a few select climbs that stoppers will work in the desert, so not entirely useless out there, hexes will work, ala the old guard, but cams are your best bet!

Absolutely not. They will serve no function whatsoever in splitter cracks, except to fall down the crack to the ground.

Great Fit

Bomber stoppers! I have taken a few nice falls on these and have yet to question their holding ability. Easy to match up size to colors after using for a while and they are easier to remove than similar nuts in other brands. Highly recommended for starters who don't have the dough to drop on a set of cams yet, or anyone looking to add some nuts to their rack.

Nuts are nuts, but its nice to get them from a company you can trust like BD. The color coding is nice and the geometry fits every time.

Great set of stoppers!

By:
January 7, 2009

This is a very useful set of stoppers! I have taken falls on the smaller sizes and they are bomber! (Like other small nuts/stoppers, you may leave a few in the rock after taking a fall) I keep 2 sets on my rack along with the smaller 1-3 sizes. The color coding is nice when you are hunting for a specific size. Make sure you have a good nut tool to help clean these from the rock!

These stoppers not only make it easy on your sling but it also packs bite into cracks. Don't be afraid to slam a load on these guys, ‘cause they can handle it.

my first pro

By:
June 15, 2009

This set marks the first pieces of pro I've owned and lead climbed with (now have full rack). Boy do these have their place on the rack. For their weight, they are easily the best pro. On most trad climbs I use about an equal number of nuts and cams.

Nothing inspires as much confidence as a well-placed nut. They stay put while cams walk. When placed well you should have no question that it will hold a fall and not pop out of the rock because of rope drag.
