Lighter Rack. Smarter Placements.

The Metolius Ultralight Asymmetric Curve Nuts Set (#1-10) is a full set of passive protection designed for climbers who want maximum stability, precision, and weight savings on their trad rack.

Featuring an asymmetric taper, these nuts excel in flaring cracks and pin scars, offering more secure placements where standard nuts struggle. The straight-sided taper also makes it easier to visually assess placement quality at a glance.

At 30% lighter than comparable nuts, with stiffer cables for easier handling, this set is ideal for climbers looking to optimise both performance and efficiency.
