Rock Sticks are Ushba's titanium pitons. They suck, because they are too hard, and do not conform to the rock. They are/were also quite pricy. |

hey willie, you want genuine wood pitons? I happen to have a set that I absolutely did NOT just cut out of a two by four. 40 bucks a piece due to their very rare nature. |

From: needlesports.com/NeedleSpor… "With the Joker, invented in 1985 by Stefan Engers, the German company Bergsport made a marked entry in the world of the mechanical chock. With only two mobile cams and a simple loop of cable stiffened by a coiled spring, this new comer had the advantage of a flexible handle to adapt to all positions." |
