A Few Nuts, Cams, and Hooks

For many years I sporadically acquired nuts, cams and hooks primarily for my own climbing use. I did not start cataloging my collection until 2024. After that time I expanded my collecting to include them, but there are too many nuts, cams, and hooks for me to assemble a comprehensive collection, and so I do not try to do so.

If you would like to see a proper collection, I recommend Stéphane Pennequin's Nuts Museum:

I have not had time to research or fully field test all of my nuts, cams and hooks, and so I am only providing image galleries at this time.
