Im not a rock climber, but theres tons of cliffs in my area so Ive spoken to many. From what ive heard, the rock breaking is more likely than the gear failing 99% of the time. Even using larger pieces of gear the rock fails more often than the gear.

For anyone wondering, this isn’t something that climbers willing choose to be their go to anchors. It’s just better to have something that fits in that tiny crevasse than no anchor at all.
its designed to fit into the small areas when you cannot get a proper sized piece to hold and need a support but it works when used properly and mathematically it should almost always hold the weight it gets rated for
@@blasttyrant3228 I don't know the origin of those words but it is very english language of them to have two words with exactly the same fucking pronunciation but meaning opposite things.
"Slow down protection" instead of fall prevention protection. Will hold a slip if you're right near it. If you're not near it (further than about 2-3 feet) it'll break and just shave some impact force off the next piece. Best used for gear nests and (if you're in the USA) aid climbing.
I’ve been on one of those… I was getting pumped out over a long unprotected stretch. I put that in a crack, weighted it with my second taking up the slack, and rested until I could traverse off the pitch. I was glad to have it.
I actually used the smallest brass nut available on Quarter Domes in Yosemite summer of 1981: It was a very nice splitter crack that started a couple of meters above the belay so I needed a single piece of aid to reach it: I face climbed to where I could reach up and place that nut. I had a very short open sling on it which I then pulled up on and stepped into before standing up to where I could just reach the point where the crack became wide enough to hold a finger jam. I was 59 kg, my friend who was 62 ripped it out when he followed! I was very glad that it held me since I would have hit the belay ledge if it had failed.
@@thenanoplayers You drive everyday - it's the same thing. You choose to get in the car and go? No it's not suicide because the goal is never to fall. Just like in a car the goal is never to crash.

Sport climbing with an anchor. That's what you want. Or just indoor climbing in general. Tbh two ropes are probably more dangerous than one correctly set up rope. You're risking them rubbing up against each other and damaging each other with friction.
@@maciek5917 perhaps but how cool would it be to see a test of someone taking a fall on an overhang testing if that would catch them (with plenty of protection after if it failed)
Believe it or not but I've had a HB brass offset #2 hold a 50ft fall on leaning tower - it fused into a flared crack. I did have gear above it ping but it actually stopped me from hitting a corner.
@@jay36963 I wouldn't believe it. That little micro nut is aide gear. Sure you'd clip to it once you move past it, but hopefully you would have better pro behind/above it.

@@avva4090 small contracting screws are capable of holding 750lbs sheer force per screw. Being as it's about the same size in width. I'd say it ain't true or other equipment/factors helped.

@@avva4090 dont forget about rope stretch, at 5000 pounds you would break your neck, as well as give the rope a run for its money (rated for slightly above 5000 lbs, or 23KN) Most 30 foot falls in climbing are less than 1-2KN (under 400 lbs) because of the rope stretch.
You would never use a tiny nut like this for protection, this is for aid climbing so you would only use it to support your body weight to help you up, not as actual protection, these are only rated for 2Kn usually.

@@fried8720 Might be in a controlled setting but definitely not with a sudden body weight fall. The string, cable or zip tie ain't the problem, it's the extra small peg her which don't have much traction in an immediate pull.
No it isn't. A lot of small gear does get used for aid climbing, but the smallest gear is also used for protection on trad routes. I've placed - and fallen on - gear quite a bit smaller than this nut, which looks a bit larger than RP#2 size.
I'm assuming that's the DMM brass offset #0? I've actually taken a whipper (maybe 10 ft total fall?) on the brass #2. And it held! It was backed up with a black tricam. Neither piece was super inspiring (the tricam was placed in a flaring pod, and the nut is, well, not much bigger than that one). If both pieces popped I think it probably would have still been okay (still not a groundfall) but it would have been a pretty enormous fall.
Yessir. They are tiny. The #2 is quite small as well. 10ft is a good whipper for that one. I believe that is the smallest one that can technically hold a fall. Way to go for it!
The #2 is pretty much the smallest one that I have any faith in being able to hold a small fall. Id still be real nervous about falling though unless I had a #4 or #6 below me (or better yet one of the mid sized Alloy Offsets).
I think you're right about the nut - certainly v similar to the DMM offset, and just slightly larger than RP#2. I'd consider a nut that size pretty trust worthy in a lot of situations. Have had RP#0s hold falls before, but after other gear ripped.
This is more the sort of thing you keep in a pocket for the moments where you just need to lock on and take a breather before continuing. Definitely not fall protection.
Have to start somewhere? When you are expecting failure, plan for the easiest way to safely have it fail. plus if it can't hold that a jerk on it isn't needed to test.
