20260620-_P6A2755 Climbing Chocks

In rock climbing, chocks are passive metal wedges placed in rock cracks to protect traditional climbers from falls. There are various types, including these small ones used in technical artificial (Class 6) climbing. These routes are physically demanding and lack traditional handholds and footholds, requiring climbers to use ropes, specialized equipment, and engineering skills. The chocks shown here are passive, since there are no moving parts. There are also active chocks which do have moving components.
