Wired Hex Set #4-10

Love my hexes

Ignore the jokes about cow bells, hexes are light, secure, and cheap enough to leave behind if you need to bail. I've been using them for 50 years. They are especially useful in the alpine, as they are light and reasonable versatile.

Confident gear

Just learning to Trad climb. 3rd trip up a route. I had total confidence in the hexes. Even as a beginner at Trad, I know BD makes a quality product. Hexes are light weight and easy to work with. Thanks for a great product

First touch of climbing was a college climbing course taught by Royal Robbins in Southern California. Hexes are great, can be used as a cam-two sizes, stopper- two sizes, fits in places that no friend/cam will, good for budget and lightweight, opposing hexes in a horizontal crack, and so much more. If you lucky enough to follow a first ascender in all type terrain, the odds are he/she will be carrying them.WELL WORTH IT.

Great starter kit

I’ve used this product series many times primarily for top rope setups. While hexes have fallen out of fashion in favor of cams for lead-trad - they are a great cost effective tool for rope rope setup. BD makes SOLID products. This plus the standard “nut” kit are all you need to setup 2-3 top rope routes. It takes practice to learn how to set them, so give yourself PLENTY of time if you are new to hexes. That being said, with good placement you’ll enjoy adding this product to your collection. For the cost of 1 cam, you get 6 anchor tools (with skill required).

Well made and Reliable

A versatile set; strong, durable and comfortable to use

Good Range

This set provides not only the high quality and craftsmanship that we expect from BD, but it also provides quite a range of sizes.

Solid equipment

Nice stiff wire, good collection of sizes to fit anywhere.

Classic gear for every rack

these are classic pieces that can find a home on almost anybody's rack. Glad to have a set.

Pretty dang good

These hexes do their job great. I tend to carry more passive than active pro (cheaper and lighter) and these are perfect for larger sized placements that you miss out on with standard stoppers

Nut works well for trad climbing. Picture can be deceiving. Make sure to pay attention, it is only the #10 nut, not the pictured set.
