Nuts are non-adjustable, wedge-shaped (conical) camming devices which provide additional protection in alpine terrain and can absorb longitudinal strain. Unlike camming devices, they passively lock into a narrowing in the rock, while camming devices, on the other hand, actively expand in parallel slits. Nuts can have various basic shapes and are therefore categorized as stoppers, hexentrics or tricams.
Camming devices such as cams and friends can also be used as removable anchors. In the next video, find out how cams differ from nuts and how they are correctly positioned and removed: • Removable Anchors: Saf...

Hi is there a solution to remove nuts while climbing alone? How can I remove them from the rock if I don't have a climbing buddy?

Hi Daniele, First of all climbing alone should not be your regular way to climb as it involves much higher risks for your live and safety. If you do so, removing nuts probably might not be the most important thing to concern about…but anyway climbing alone either means your climbing free solo or you´re rope soloing. Free soloing - per definition - means you don´t protect yourself with a rope and any kind of anchors or protection. So no need to remove nuts anyway. If you´re ropesoloing, you first lead the pitch placing your pro, then you´re rappelling the pitch on the fixed rope and ascend it again. Either during rappelling or ascending again you easily can remove the nuts you placed while leading. Often nuts can be removed - unlike shown in the video - singlehanded, so you can still hold on to the rock with the other hand.

Which climbing area was this video filmed? Looks awesome!

Hi there, all the climbs shown in the video are located at the Cinque Torri close to Cortina d´Ampezzo (Dolomites/Italy). A neat little area, just perfect to start your alpine climbing in the dolomites - and all with a great panorama to the impressing Tofana-Group! Enjoy climbing! Best, your ORTOVOX team
