Black Diamond Wired Hexentrics offer cheap, lightweight protection for trad climbing. Each Hex offers four different placement options, so they'll fit a variety of cracks and can be worked into places where other forms of protection just don't cut it. Hexes are popular with alpine climbers because of their lightweight durability (alpine gear gets hammered) and as a low cost alternative to leaving behind an $80 cam when you're retreating off your latest epic.
Bottom Line: Light, cheap, and durable—a climber's three favorite words.
