Black Diamond Lost Arrow Piton

Black Diamond Lost Arrow Pitons: The legendary anchors for big wall and aid climbing. Hot-forged for exceptional durability, these pitons are built to withstand repeated abuse in thin to medium cracks. Inspired by John Salathé´s iconic designs, they offer unwavering reliability and secure placements where other protection may fail. Lightweight for their size, they are essential for progression on challenging vertical routes and building dependable anchors. Numbered for quick identification, Lost Arrows are a time-tested tool for serious climbers.

An indispensable piece of climbing equipment, the Lost Arrow Piton is the direct descendant of the original forged masterpieces that revolutionized vertical exploration. Their iconic status is earned through decades of proven performance on the world´s most demanding rock faces. While modern protection has advanced, the unique capabilities of the Lost Arrow remain essential for any serious aid or big wall climber´s rack. They provide critical security in seams and cracks too shallow or irregular for cams and nuts, turning uncertain terrain into a secure pathway.

The thoughtful design is evident in every aspect of the piton. The precisely tapered profile allows for progressive placement and increased holding power as it is driven into a crack. This design ensures maximum contact with the rock, creating a trustworthy anchor point for body weight, hauling, or fall protection in an aid climbing scenario. The durability derived from the hot-forging process means these pitons can be placed, cleaned, and re-used multiple times, a crucial factor for multi-day ascents where every piece of gear counts. The large, clean eye is optimized for easy clipping and accommodates multiple carabiners, making it ideal for building complex and redundant anchor systems.
