The Black Diamond Wired Hexentrics provide versatile, traditional passive protection for wide cracks.

  • Swaged cable offers excellent durability and ease of use
  • With the stiff cable, "neck-down" placements can be made efficiently where slung accessory cord may be hard to handle
  • Hexentrics are a lightweight, affordable alternative to spring-loaded camming devices

      Comments about Black Diamond Wired Hexentrics:

      I like sizes 5 and up. Anything smaller than that gets to be a little hard to place in my opinion. #5-6 can replace the 12-13 nuts and fit in the same size cracks with a few other options and lighter weight. The BIG hexes can be nice if you know you need one for a certain route and don't want to buy a big cam.

      The downside is just that not to many people know how to place them so partners can get a bit grumpy when using them.

        These nuts are very easy to use and are an exceptional value!! They can be easily placed into a crevasse for rope anchoring and are easily removable. Different sizes make them versatile and suitable for a variety of climbing sites. I would recommend these to any avid or sport climber.

          Comments about Black Diamond Wired Hexentrics:

          One advantage of these over the Wild Country Hexentrics is that you can place them with one hand. The Wild Country's use a sling that will hang while BD uses a steel cable that is more rigid. They are less $$ than most other hexes and BD has a solid reputation.
