Brass Nuts for DMM IMP, Silver, 3, A1723A

IMP's, or Innovative Micro Placements, offer climbers a distinct advantage by allowing them to utilize the smallest and most marginal placements. Constructed with brass nut heads, these devices are designed to securely bite into even the most diminutive of cracks and crevices, while still maintaining the strength to resist being pulled through.

The IMP's are soldered directly onto the wires, enabling the use of thicker wire and enhancing the overall strength of the placement. The swage on the wire is color-coded for quick size selection, and it also allows one side of the wire to slide, enabling the IMP to self-equalize when loaded, thereby increasing the security of the placement.

These innovative protection devices are particularly valuable for climbers pushing into harder grades, as they provide a means to take advantage of every available placement option. The strength ratings of the different IMP models range from 4kN to 7kN, ensuring that climbers can select the appropriate device for the demands of their chosen route.

The claimed weights of the IMP's vary, with the lightest model weighing just 0.1oz (4g) and the heaviest option weighing in at 0.6oz (16g). For those seeking a more versatile solution, there are also assorted sets available, with the 2-4 model weighing 1.1oz (31g) and the 1-5 model weighing 1.8oz (51g).

Whether you're tackling a challenging onsight, redpointing a project, or simply seeking to expand your climbing arsenal, IMP's offer a reliable and innovative solution that can help you conquer the most difficult placements and push the boundaries of your climbing abilities.
