Wired Hexentrics
You can spend 11 years in the Creek without ever even considering a hex, but get on a long and wandering alpine route and you’ll regret the weight and bulkiness of those cams in a hurry. Black Diamond’s Wired Hexentrics provide cam-quality protection in widening cracks and weird placements where a cam just won’t work, and they weigh about as much as the last breath you took, so you’ll hardly even notice them until it’s time to place one.

The Big One
I wanted a big Hex and that is exactly what this is. Good construction and materials. Feels like it will last for years to come.

Must Haves
Hex’s are a must in my opinion for trad climbing. They offer the versatility of a nut and a cam and are great to drop into cracks. The wired option allows for a longer life span than nylon. Ounces make pounds but no need to have them reslung in ten years.

Wired hexentrics
I’m a big fan of the BD hexes. I don’t use them too often, but when they fit they always inspire confidence. I like that they have a cable rather than a sling, however, the cable thickness could be adjusted in my opinion. If the cable were a little thicker/ stiffer it would be easier to place and clean them in my opinion.
