I’d be shocked if this is a bot. Unless they e evolved to post pictures related to their reasonable questions already? Sometimes best not to jump to conclusions.

Maybe try contacting Black Diamond if you are concerned.  It looks like the manufacturing process drills a hole thru the nut, then secures it with a weld or braze and finaly grinds it flat.

This picture from Outdoor Gear Lab looks similar with some voids.

I merely asked where she climbs. You jumped to a conclusion that I accused her of being a bot. Funny how you made that assumption.

Because your usual question when you suspect a bot is indeed “where do you climb?” It’s not at all funny; in fact it’s entirely logical.

I agree with Jay. I have multiple sets and all are sans voids. While there is material that is different in color from the wire and metal there are no vids. Voids result in a loss in contact thus less shear strength between the wire and metal.

I see. Is this similar to you assuming someone is climbing on wet sandstone?

Entirely logical. Ha ha ha.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
