The Camp Anello Fisso piton is a classic normal hook made from mild steel. This means that it is particularly suitable for limestone rock such as in the Dolomites or the northern limestone Alps. This is because it can bend very well due to the relatively soft steel. This means that it can also be driven into very uneven cracks, crevices and holes.
This piton is available in four lengths. Firstly with a length of 10cm (shaft length 6cm). Secondly with a length of 12cm (shaft length 8cm). These two models have a shaft thickness of 7mm. Then thirdly with 13cm (shaft 9cm) and fourthly with 15.5cm (shaft 11cm). These two longer versions are also slightly thicker. Their shaft thickness is 8mm. Consequently, you can cover a wide range of placements with this standard hook.
Conclusion. Anyone who spends a lot of time in limestone on first ascents or wild adventures. Then this piton is practically a must.

Camp Anello Fisso piton = carbon steel
This standard hook is a so-called “mild steel hook”. You can recognize it immediately by its light, silvery color.
Carbon steel has the advantage over the much harder chrome-molybdenum hooks that it is still easy to bend. This makes this steel much more suitable for limestone. This is because the surfaces and cracks here are much more angled and uneven. Very stiff hooks would not work well here. Softer hooks adapt to the shape of the cracks and really “wind” themselves into the rock. This also gives them much better holding power.
