WildCountry Offset Zero 0.1/0.2 Stopper
Master the Most Demanding Placements with Unmatched Security
Unlock the full potential of your trad rack with the WildCountry Offset Zero 0.1/0.2 Stopper, the ultimate micro-protection for climbers who refuse to back down from a challenge. When the crack pinches down to a mere sliver, flares unexpectedly, or is scarred from old pitons, standard protection simply won´t do. This is where the Offset Zero excels, transforming marginal, insecure opportunities into solid, confidence-inspiring placements. Designed for the discerning traditional and aid climber, this specialized piece of gear is your key to navigating the most intricate and technical lines with a newfound sense of security. It’s not just another nut; it’s a problem-solver for the most complex protection puzzles you´ll encounter on the rock.
The genius of the Offset Zero lies in its radically effective design. Unlike symmetrical nuts, these advanced Stoppers feature a sophisticated offset, dual-taper geometry. This means they create a perfect, multi-directional wedge in non-parallel and irregular cracks where other protection would be unstable or impossible to place. The unique shape allows for an incredibly secure fit in flared grooves, old pin scars, and the subtle constrictions often found on granite and limestone. This versatility significantly expands your placement options, allowing you to protect sections of a route that were previously considered run-out or unsafe.
Key Benefits:
*Unrivaled Placement Security: The unique offset taper provides an exceptionally stable and reliable hold in flared, irregular, and non-uniform cracks, giving you the confidence to commit to the next move.
*Unlock Micro-Protection: Specifically engineered for the smallest of placements, this 0.1/0.2 size allows you to protect thin, delicate features that are otherwise indefensible.
*Enhanced Versatility: An indispensable tool for any trad rack, it excels on a wide variety of rock types and is particularly effective in old, piton-scarred routes where standard gear fails.
*Lightweight and Compact: Adds minimal weight to your harness while dramatically increasing your protection options, making it ideal for both long multi-pitch routes and lightweight alpine ascents.
*Effortless Handling: Designed for quick identification and easy one-handed placement, allowing you to stay focused and efficient when you´re on the sharp end.
Main Features:
*Features a sophisticated offset, dual-taper design for superior holding power in non-symmetrical cracks.
*Transverse grooves are machined into the faces to increase surface area contact and bite into the rock, resisting movement under load.
*The head is mounted on a single, flexible stem that ensures stability and reduces the likelihood of the Stopper “walking” or being dislodged by rope drag.
*Subtly rounded edges not only facilitate smoother placement but also make cleaning and removal significantly easier, preventing the unit from getting permanently fixed.
*A durable, color-coded swage allows for instant size identification on your harness, saving precious time when you need to place gear quickly.
