Marty, forgive me for posting the information below on this thread. When looking closely at your photograph of the Troll chocks, I well believe that the nut in the middle is most interesting. If it does not have any size number stamped on it, it may be one of the earliest nuts made by Troll, in 1963/1964. From the historical point of view, it predates the Clog Hexagon by three years!

I obtained the two Troll Hexagons in a ebay auction last year. Both sizes do not have a number stamp and the ends of the smaller Hexagon is straight sided.

Haha! I hadn't seen a particular hanger and noticed a few in my basement. I was logging on to see if you had any Troll Caving hangers and if you didn't offer to send you a couple and blamm -picture right here.
They feel like aluminum, damned things must be pretty weak.

The bolt on the right was placed by Anton 'Ax' Nelson and party on the route Kasperek's Delight at Pinnacles National Monument in 1946 a few months before Ax led the first ascent of the Lost Arrow Tip.
The bolt hanger on the left was made by cutting off the tip of a soft steel piton and drilled for a bolt and link. Circa late 50's early 60's. Ghetto climbing gear at it's finest.

Here is one of the runs we made.
1/4" SS
Nice little BC kit above, buddy John designed the hangers and the drills.
Plenty of fun stamps on most of the hangers that we placed.

Austri Alpin is located in Austria and creates “Premium quality mountaineering products.” Summer 2014 Austri Alpin was in Salt Lake City Utah and donated a bunch of bolt anchors to the Karabin museum. I already had a few Austri Alpin bolt hangers which were sent to me in 1999, and this 2014 collection is an awesome addition. Thanks Austri Alpin!!!
