The Wild Country Rockcentric Set 5-9 is five hexagonal climbing nuts that cover medium to large cracks for less weight than many of the cams they stand in for. Every size is rated to 14 kN and comes on a colour-coordinated Dyneema sling.

The Rockcentric takes the classic Hexentric idea and reshapes it with Wild Country's Rock geometry, so each piece gives you three placement dimensions depending on how you turn it – useful in irregular and flared cracks. The lightweight hollow construction keeps the whole set to roughly 488g, and the slings both identify the size at a glance and help the piece stay seated once placed.

Choose this set when you want big-crack cover and anchor-building options without buying a full set of large cams, or to bulk out the passive side of an existing rack.
