Overview

The Singing Rock Steel Piton A3 5cm is a compact, hardened steel piton designed for technical routes where cracks are slender. It targets thinner openings up to 3 mm, delivering precise placement for aid climbing, first ascents, mountaineering and routine rock climbing where small features matter.

What makes it stand out

• Material: Cro-Mo hardened steel for lasting strength on rock edges and under load.
• Crack compatibility: built to slide into cracks up to 3 mm with controlled insertion.
• Weight and balance: 54 g for the 5 cm model, offering a favorable strength-to-weight ratio.
• Size options: available in 3 cm, 5 cm, and 7 cm lengths for versatility on different routes.
• Profile: 3 mm thickness to fit tight openings without excessive bulk.

Durability in the field

Crafted from hardened Cro-Mo steel, the piton holds its shape and grip after repeat placements. Its robust construction supports consistent performance across varied rock types, weather conditions, and climbing scenarios, while keeping a manageable weight on your harness.

Real-world use cases

In aid lines that demand precise placements, for ambitious projects of a first ascent, or while traversing alpine rock faces, this piton can complement a technical rack with a reliable option for slender cracks.

• Aid climbing and challenging routes with slender crack options
• First ascents on rock routes that require careful, precise pieces
• Mountaineering and alpine rock routes with limited crack sizes
• Sport or traditional climbing where small features are available

Note that performance depends on route conditions and rock type. Regular inspection and proper placement are important to maximize safety and efficiency on mixed terrains.
