That really is a remarkable cast nut.

On the Clog spud, are you sure that it has not been modified?
I filed a second taper onto some of mine. After some use, the home made
nature of the mod became inobvious.

One feature of the single hole is more stability. Not good for shallow placements, though.

I am coming around to the opinion that this piece wasn't originally made to be used climbing but I would love to be wrong about that.

Scuffy- The two-taper spud came to me that way and the finish seems to be consistent with the modification being original but rather rare. Adding the second attitude certainly makes sense but this shape wasn't in play very long.
