Stubai Piton Soft Metal | 50mm #1

When you're climbing rock faces, establishing anchors, or securing protection in challenging alpine terrain, you need equipment that delivers consistent performance without excess weight. The Stubai Piton Soft Metal represents a refined approach to traditional climbing hardware, engineered for climbers who demand reliability in demanding situations. These soft metal pitons excel in placements where harder steel alternatives might damage delicate rock or prove difficult to extract, making them essential for trad climbing, aid climbing, and mountaineering applications where reversibility and rock preservation matter.

• Soft metal construction (aluminum alloy) absorbs impact energy and minimizes rock damage during placement and removal
• Lightweight design reduces pack weight without compromising holding strength or durability in field conditions
• Precisely engineered eye geometry ensures smooth carabiner clipping and reliable rope attachment security
• Available in two sizes (#2 at 70mm and #3 at 90mm) to cover essential placement ranges across diverse crack widths
• Stubai's Austrian manufacturing heritage ensures consistent quality control and performance testing standards
• Suitable for both granite and sandstone formations where soft metal pitons provide superior performance
• Easy extraction capability reduces climber fatigue and rope damage compared to harder steel alternatives
• Corrosion-resistant surface treatment maintains functionality in wet, alpine, and coastal climbing environments
• Versatile design works equally well as primary protection or backup anchor reinforcement

This product is available in two essential sizes: the 70mm #2 piton for narrower, vertical cracks, and the 90mm #3 piton for slightly wider placements. These complementary sizes work together to provide coverage across the most commonly encountered crack widths in traditional climbing scenarios.

Whether you're a trad climber establishing clean anchors on granite walls, an aid climber navigating overhanging terrain, or a mountaineer securing protection in remote alpine environments, the Stubai Piton Soft Metal delivers the performance and versatility your climbing demands. These pitons are ideal for climbers who prioritize rock stewardship, reversible protection, and equipment that performs consistently across varying rock types and conditions without sacrificing reliability or safety.
