Black Diamond Stoppers

Stoppers are the foundation of any climbing rack and these are the standard wired, wedge-shaped nuts for thin-crack protection. Black Diamond designed a transverse taper into the Stopper which permits good sideways placements in flares and shallow seams. This feature opens up previously unprotectable cracks, and makes Stoppers significantly more functional than other wedge-shaped nuts. The nuts are easier to remove since Black Diamond rounds-off the sharp corners that cause nuts to get hung up on crystals and irregularities inside the crack.

Essential pro for every trad rack, Stoppers by Black Diamond are designed with a transverse taper that permits sideways placements in flares and shallow seams. Anodized by size, they're quickly identifiable and rounded edges make for easy removal. Each Stopper is equipped with a durable galvanized steel cable.
