Thanks for pointing that out, Ron. I thought they were over with.

Anyone know how long it's been since they made RPs? I understood they were the first silver-soldered nuts; I find them every now and then, but don't think they're being rereleased anywhere that I know of. Anyone?

Neptune's might have some RPs. Call them. Their website is still a bit random. 303/499-8866

HB offsets bail me out all the time.

RP's are bread and butter too, but I often find the little seams I'm trying to protect just eat the HB brass better.

I've had my BD steel for a few years now, and I've yet to place it, and not I've stopped taking it with me. Not bad stuff, but I just find that if the RP's and HB won't fit the BD is even less likely to fit.

As far as RP's are concerned are there any brands in particular I should lean towards?

Try the RP's. ;)



HB makes some pretty small tapers too, but the rating on such small pieces is often <6kn.. It's just one of the compromises of climbing stuff that only takes really small (clean) gear.
