Camp Universale piton

The Camp Universal piton is one of THE classics in our range. This standard hook is made of high-carbon steel, i.e. chrome-molybdenum steel. It is available in three lengths. Firstly 10cm (shank length 6cm). Secondly 12.5cm (shank length 8.5cm) and thirdly 15cm (shank length 11cm).

The carabiner eye is twisted 45° to the shank. This offers a wide range of placement options for this hook. For example, in tight intersections. Because even if you can no longer clip a carabiner, a webbing sling can still be easily threaded through.

This hard steel hook is designed for granite. This is because the steel hardly bends here and ensures a firm hold. In addition, it can often be hammered in and out again.

In short. This bolt belongs in the rack of every solid alpinist or developer.

Camp Universale piton – THE granite classic

What makes this normal hook so versatile is its shape. This is because a carabiner eye twisted by 45° sits on the narrowly dimensioned shank.

This means that the hook is perfect for narrow cracks as well as shallow intersections. It also fits into narrow slots and behind scales.

Twisting the carabiner eyelet is a cool feature. This means that you can at least thread a webbing sling or cordalette through even in “tight” places.

Can be switched on and off frequently

The Camp Universal piton is made of high-carbon steel. More precisely, it is made of chrome-molybdenum steel. This makes it possible to use the hook many times.

This is because this particularly hard steel is very resistant. As a result, it does not mind repeated bending or hammering. However, it should not be bent at right angles to the shank, as the hook does not like that at all!

A proper hammer is an advantage

If you want to hammer the Camp Universale piton in or out quickly, you need a reasonably sized rock hammer. A very small and light model will not get you anywhere. Therefore, look for a higher weight (from approx. 600 grams) and a good “pull”.
