Don't let a heavy rack hold you back. Weight matters on multipitch climbs, so lighten up with the Metolius Ultralight Curve Nuts™.

  • By attaching the cable directly to the nuts, Metolius eliminated the swage, making the nuts lighter than comparable pieces
  • Based on a traditional angle-taper design, the Ultralight Curve Nut utilizes horizontal curves across two faces
  • Horizontal curves provide the pieces with multiple placement options and makes them naturally more stable in flaring cracks
  • Curves assure three points of contact with the rock, making the nuts more stable and versatile than older, straight-sided nut designs
  • Anodized heads are color-coded to match Metolius camming devices for easy identification and familiar size selection

    Comments about Metolius Ultralight Curve Nut:

    These nuts have an excellent shape that is less prone to getting stuck than my previous set. The shape seems to be a bit nicer than the standard taper for slotting them in.

    The lack of a large swage on the wire means they hang nicer and makes it easier to get the correct one off a biner.

    There is small weight savings that is always welcome.

    My one complaint is the smallest one (#1) is not small enough. I am keeping the 2 smallest of my previous set to fill in that gap.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
