Ballraces
In spite of a great deal of research, I have not yet found any samples of this typical Australian climbing protection. I believe that there is not any mention of the using of Ballraces in the British climbing literature.
I contacted John Davis about the Ballraces a few years ago. John had looked for his old Ballraces for the Nuts Museum but so far he has not found them. He sent me a couple of pages from the book “Rope and Rucksack” he published in 1969, which shows the ones he was looking for. |

Cheetas, all sizes: In 1966/67 along with his brother Roger and a climbing companion Colin Downer, Guy Lee manufactured wedge shaped nuts, called Cheeta, and sold them on the climbing scene in the Peak District. These nuts were used by Guy Lee and various colleagues on early ascents of routes like Mousetrap on Gogarth, and Nexus on Dinas Mot (Terry Bolger who was leading the overhang on this route fell on a Cheeta and it remained jammed in there for years). |
