The DMM Alloy Offset is the development of the original HB offset designed & made by the legendary Hugh Banner who founded HB Climbing Equipment. Hugh realised that conventional nuts don’t sit well in flared cracks, so he designed the Offset. HB Climbing Equipment closed in 2005, so DMM have taken up the mantle & produced a new version of the old classic. The DMM Offset is forged from a solid bar of aluminium alloy to produce the asymmetrical shape with side recesses to provide different & varied placement options. The wire has been fully recessed into the head to make it smoother, safer & stronger. On the two largest sizes the sides have even been drilled to reduce weight. Colour coded to compliment the rest of the DMM protection range & designed to follow on from where the Brass Offsets end. When you are struggling to get your Wallnuts to sit nicely in uneven & flared cracks, shove in an Offset & relax.
