Superlight Rocks have the same cross section as standard Rocks, but are much narrower. They are in fact similar in shape to Black Diamond Micro Stoppers, but larger. By using this slim shape, and putting them on a single cable rather than a loop of cable, Wild Country have significantly reduced the weight of these wires over standard Rocks, albeit at a reduction in strength.
They will be of most interest to winter climbers, alpinists, and greater ranges mountaineers, or any sports and icefall climbers wanting to include a set of wires on their rack "just in case".
A set of these carried on the same krab as a set BD Micro Stoppers (or similar) makes a great lightweight set of extra kit for long pitches at your top grade.
Available singly or in a set of six.
Please note that Wild Country has issued a Product Recall on Superlight Rocks as of 13th February 2023, as they have discovered that exposure to salty air can result in a weakening of the swaged joint in the cable. Please visit https://www.wildcountry.com/product-recall for more details and instructions. We do not expect them to be available again for at least 6 months.
