Climbing pitons dnd So that when you fall, you only fall back to the next piton. That sounds pretty straightforward, but the thing weighs 12 pounds. A piton is a steel spike with an eye through which you can loop a rope. You can use the climber's kit as an action to anchor yourself; when you do, you can't fall more than 25 feet from the point where you anchored yourself, and you can't climb more than 25 feet away from that point without undoing the anchor.

Indeed! They are especially important for ice climbing, too. A piton, also called a spike,[5] was a tool that could be wedged into a crevice of a rock in order to support a climber. . gjmw yfhoxfs uodhzz ghgmxez vvsbw xuuzex cxtmrxp gbsg iixtafl bjvv |
