    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.

            Comments about Black Diamond Wired Hexentrics:

            These are one of the most economical ways to beef up your rack. If you need multiples in certain sizes, these are much more cost effective than buying more cams. If you can live with the clanking noise the puppies make, you will have bomber anchors at a fraction of the cost of cams! When placed properly, these are very easy to get out but hold tight without walking.

              If... if you like hexes, these BD's are awesome. Can be placed in a multitude of orientations (I prefer these over a curved hex design). Cable is stiffer vs. cord, more durable. Bomber.
