Description
Wired Hexes
Introduced in 1971, this timeless form of pro has retained its relevance as the most versatile, inexpensive protection available to climbers. Their unique hexagonal design allows a Hexentric® to fit four different crack configurations. This means that a Hex has a comparable range to a similarly-sized camming unit—but is lighter and doesn’t cost a king’s ransom. Extremely easy to place, a Hex can provide surprisingly reassuring placements in terrain where other camming devices fall short.
Wired Hex Set
Wired for durability, our Wired Hexes can be bought individually or in a starter set that includes #4–#10 and an OvalWire for rackability.
- Lightweight form of pro with maximum versatility
- Great for alpine climbing and traditional lines
- Multiple angles of placement give a range comparable to cams

Nothing instills confidence like a solid hex placement though.

They don't place as fast as cams do. Often if i have the choice between placing a hex or a cam and the stance is good, i'll place the hex and save the cam for later.
