Petzl V Conique piton

The Petzl V Conique is a classic hard steel piton made of high carbon steel. It is also known as a “V profile hook”.

This hook is available in two lengths. On the one hand with 7cm shank length (11cm total length). And the other with an 11cm shank length (total length 15cm).

The characteristic feature is the aforementioned V-profile. It enables the piton to wedge itself properly into cracks, fissures and behind scales if the width is suitable. The greater the deformation of the V, the better the hook holds. This can be recognized by the classic “singing” of the hook.

Conclusion. Anyone looking for a classic V-Profl hook has found a great option here.

Petzl V Conique piton = hard chrome steel

This piton is intended for use in granite. This is because it is made of hard chrome steel. This is an alloy that is more suitable for hard rocks than soft alloys.

This is because harder steels have proven to be far more practical for frequent use of a hook in granite. They also have slightly better corrosion resistance. This is further enhanced by a black paint finish.

bolting.eu Practice Tip

Use a slightly larger rock hammer for your hook set. Just 50 grams more weight often gives you a much better “pull” when striking.

Very light hammers can often be tedious when setting hooks. Because the calculation is clear. The higher the impact energy, the easier the hook goes into the rock. In addition to the strength in the arm, the weight of the hammer is an important factor.
