For Aid Climbing / Alpinism / Fixed Anchors
Most pitons rely on compression of the metal and leverage from directional pull for their holding power. The U shape of the shaft on the Corner piton adds an additional holding force by creating spring tension when the piton is driven into a crack proportionately smaller than its width.
