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 &#8220;Angle&#8221; or &#8220;Lost Arrow&#8221;.    <\/p>\n<p>The piton is available in four different sizes.<\/p>\n<p>No <a href=\"https:\/\/bolting.eu\/produkt-kategorie\/kletterausruestung\/\">climbing equipment<\/a> should be without this standard piton.<\/p>\n<h2>Features Kong Athos Soft piton<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Manufacturer: Kong Italy<\/li>\n<li>Material: Mild steel<\/li>\n<li>Lengths: 55mm, 65mm, 80mm and 90mm<\/li>\n<li>Thickness: 3-5mm<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 85-141 gram<\/li>\n<li>Standards: EN 569<\/li>\n<li>Ideal for soft rocks<\/li>\n<li>Round carabiner eyelet for tying off with <a href=\"https:\/\/bolting.eu\/produkt-kategorie\/bandschlinge\/\">webbing sling<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Observe the operating instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Comparison of similar piton<\/h3>\n<p>We give you a comparison below.

We therefore recommend a slightly lighter <a href=\"https:\/\/bolting.eu\/produkt-kategorie\/felshammer\/\">rock hammer<\/a> for this. <\/p>\n<p>If you occasionally sink a normal piton like this one, the CT Thunder is a good choice. However, if you are often out and about in granite, you should consider the Grivel Thor. Furthermore, we can only praise the Camp Brenta Hammer for heavy users.  <\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget people! It&#8217;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 &#8220;crash&#8221;. With placements, it is also not always guaranteed that you will actually get the piton out again. So plan a reserve!    <\/p>\n<h3>Video &#8211; Attachment of piton<\/h3>\n<p>The following video shows you the basics of attaching piton. The Kong Athos Soft piton can of course also be used in granite. However, we recommend the hard steel hooks for this. Because these are &#8211; nomen est omen &#8211; more robust.   <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y3t2FiZctuM\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Link Tip<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Interesting article on the standard testing of piton in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bergundsteigen.at\/file.php\/archiv\/2004\/3\/print\/70-75%20%28mit%20seil%20und%20haken%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bergundsteigen<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li>Manufacturer: <a href=\"https:\/\/bolting.eu\/produkt-kategorie\/kong\/\">Kong Italy<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Material: Mild steel<\/li>\n<li>Lengths: 55mm, 65mm, 80mm and 90mm<\/li>\n<li>Thickness: 3-5mm<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 85-141 gram<\/li>\n<li>Standards: EN 569<\/li>\n<li>Ideal for soft rocks<\/li>\n<li>Round carabiner eyelet for tying off with webbing sling<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kong.it\/media\/Component\/CatalogProduct\/p141-athos-hard\/attachments\/I_KONG_BOLTS_PITONS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Observe the operating instructions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23760,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[14964,14823,14971],"product_tag":[14864],"class_list":{"0":"post-31138","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-piton-normal-hook","7":"product_cat-kong-en","8":"product_cat-sale-climbing","9":"product_tag-alpine-climbing","11":"first","12":"outofstock","13":"sale","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-variable"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kong Athos Soft piton made of mild steel buy online | bolting.eu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Here you will find the KONG ATHOS SOFT FELSHAKEN.
