The Kong Athos Hard piton is designed for hard rocks. For example granite, gneiss and slate. The normal hook has a slightly thicker shape. It is therefore predestined for narrow cracks and slits. This hook shape is also often referred to as an “Angle” or “Lost Arrow”. <\/p>\n
The piton is available in four different sizes.<\/p>\n
This normal piton should not be missing from any climbing equipment or big wall gear<\/a>.<\/p>\n We give you a comparison below. Namely between the Kong Athos Hard piton and the Camp Lost Arrow. Because these two hooks are relatively similar in terms of their range of use. Even if they are slightly different in terms of construction. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sinking chrome steel piton requires a lot of punch. We therefore recommend a slightly larger hammer for this. <\/p>\n If you occasionally sink a normal hook like this one, the Stubai Rocky is a good choice. However, if you are often out and about in granite, you should consider the Camp Brenta. We can also recommend the Kong Eagle or Eagly Light if you are looking for big walls. <\/p>\n And don’t forget people! It’s better to pack 2-3 piton too many than too few. This is because the hook can easily fall out again on the first few strikes and then “crash”. With bigwalls, it is also not always guaranteed that you will actually get the piton out again. So plan a reserve! <\/p>\n The following video shows you the basics of attaching piton. The Kong Athos Hard piton can of course also be used in lime. However, we recommend the soft steel hooks for this. Because these are – nomen est omen – more flexible. <\/p>\nFeatures Kong Athos Hard piton<\/h2>\n
