    Great nut tool for following multi-pitch or lead follow style routes. This clips to a gear loop and has a great strength to weight ratio.

    This tool is designed to help romove stoppers (aka "nuts") out of cracks. It will also spread peanut butter. I like this tool because it will clip right to your harness. Other designs require an extra carabiner.
