The Kong Porthos 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 often referred to as a “diagonal hook”. This is because the carabiner eye is twisted 45% towards the shank. <\/p>\n
The piton is available in two different sizes.<\/p>\n
