The Wild Country Rockcentric is a hybrid nut-and-cam piece of trad protection, sold individually in sizes 4-9. It borrows the best of the classic Hexentric and pairs it with Rock geometry for a genuinely versatile bit of pro.

The hollow T6 alloy head has a pronounced dual "rocker" profile that gives four different placement options, two of which use a camming action for extra holding power in awkward or flared cracks, and a side cut helps it seat in flares. Long, flexible, colour-coded Dyneema slings make each size easy to grab at a glance and help stop the piece lifting out once it's seated.

Choose Rockcentrics as a fair-priced alternative to cams when you're building a first trad rack, or as simple, lightweight pro for larger placements on mountain routes.
