With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

DMM Size 3 Peenut

Season:EOL

Brand:DMM

Code:5066354

Sometimes placements are tricky. Different crags throw up shallow cracks, off-width cracks, old peg scars, all of which are hard to protect with conventional nuts. DMM Peenuts offer an excellent alternative, they have a tapered profile allowing them to fit where a regular wire won't seat.

We're not going to say that DMM Peenuts will sit in all those places where you can't get regular wires to fit, but they might. Or maybe that dodgy micro wire placement, will actually be a decent wire placement with a DMM Peenut in it.

The main benefit of the DMM Peenuts, is that they are different. This isn't always a good thing. Sometimes sticking to the status quo is useful, but wouldn't it be worth having a set of these hanging from your rack, just in case the status quo doesn't come up trumps?
The old HB Alloy offsets, and the smaller brass partners were very popular, because they weren't shaped like regular wires. They were something totally crazy. But they worked! And a lot of people are beginning to discover the joys of these micro wires, because they also "just work".

Part of the nature of small gear, is that it isn't incredibly strong. There's just not enough material. The size 1 DMM Peenut, is rated at 4kN. That's probably enough to take a bit of a fall, but not a lot more. Sizes 2 and 3 are better at 5kN, and by the time you get to 4 and 5 you're looking at 8kN. Sense must therefore prevail. If you can place a couple of tiny wires, then do. It will be better for you, than trusting a single piece. If you can use screamer tapes, then do that too. Just a couple of ideas for keeping you off the floor.

 

Buyers Guide - How to choose Choose a Traditional Climbing Rack

Excited to be buying the first bits of lead gear to build your trad rack? So are we!

Our climbing gear walls have been described as some of the best in Europe (by our International Reps who know a thing or two) and as boulderers, sport climbers, trad climbers and mountaineers ourselves we LOVE to talk about gear. Both the Joe Brown shops, and The Climbers Shop have been supplying climbers and expeditions since 1966 and 1959 respectively, we were founded by climbers and the only thing we love more than talking about gear is actually going climbing ourselves. We don’t just learn about what’s the best kit to use – we know what’s the best kit to use……..


- What is the first piece of protection I should buy?
- What length Quickdraws are best?
- Why are there so many different lengths slings?
- How do I choose which karabiners to add?
- Can I lead if I don’t own any cams?
- Do I really need to carry Prusik Loops?
- How do I know when my gear has worn out?




Top tips to make the right choice:

Go shopping with your mate and/or someone more experienced so you buy the right thing for the routes you climb and, more importantly, gear that compliments each other’s racks.

Tag your gear so that you know who’s is who. We sell purpose made tags or you could use your own personal design of insulation tape.

Buy a length of rope off the reel and practice your knots so they become second nature. Tying a clove hitch one handed without bending your fingers looks REALLY cool!

Regularly tie yourself to a stair banister so you can prefect your belaying skills and be super slick out on the crag. It saves time and means you can enjoy the route and make it back to the pub to revel in your success.

Join a club – it’s the cheapest way to learn and you’ll have an instant pool of climbing partners or hire an Instructor or Guide to learn loads of great tips and techniques.
