 FIXE Hardware
Located in Spain. Kevin Daniels through the years as been a HUGE supporter of the Karabin Climbing Museum keeping up with the ongoing changes with FIXE hardware bolting equipment. Many big THANKS THANKS THANKS to Kevin!!! Recently he found a few more items that were on my FIXE wish list. Besides bolting equipment FIXE manufacturers everything including Cams, Pitons, Climbing Holds, Jewelry etc etc.... Out of all of the bolting equipment presently in the museum, FIXE hardware has the largest selection. All of these hangers are different even though some may look the same. Manufacture stamps changed through the years, color changes, etc.
The following three display boards I put together back in 1999/2000 when I was a home husband raising my two sons James and Nicholas. During their naps I was either doing house cleaning or working on the display boards.

At the Summer Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City I met Yip Liu - the designer of the Keith titanium bolt and hanger.

Alberta climbers used a lot of homemade aluminum hangers in the 80's. Some of these hangers had holes that would only accept small profile biners. We learned to keep some small biners on our rack todeal with the situation

Yes the CMI hanger is a monster! Available in colors gray and orange. Years ago I installed one of these CMI hangers to use as a ground anchor for a slackline over my friends pool.
From CMI website - "This may look like other bolt hangers you've seen, but our clever design achieves a 10,000-pound MBS in a lightweight package. One-quarter inch thick steel finished in an aesthetically pleasing grey. Takes up to a 5/8" bolt.
Size: 3.25" x 2"
Weight: 0.45lbs
Breaking Strength: 10,000 pounds

Geezus Marty,
Glad this thread came up this morning. It took me over two hours to get through it. Thanks for the history lesson.

Ditto, Podunk! Marty, you've probably spent a significantly large hunk of your life just making display boards!

Podunk and Don - Thanks for the props! Presently putting together a display board of old ice screws and then starting 19 display boards of nuts! To me the display boards are works of art!

I may have missed it buried in the great info here. Do you have examples of both an aluminum Petzl hanger and an aluminum Metolius hanger? Classic shape. I've seen both in the wild and was pretty surprised.

Chad_E - I have never heard of Metolius making hangers out of aluminum. The Metolius hangers are shown two pages back on this thread, post # 225. I have many different Petzl hangers but I have not shown them yet on this thread. A few of the Petzl hangers are made of aluminum as you mentioned, yes classic shapes for sure! I will dig out the Petzl display board and show them this weekend!

Not sure if all the Petzl hangers have been accounted for. In the late 80’s (estimating 1989) Petzl released stainless steel 8mm hangers to be used in conjunction with spits. This style of bolt has been replaced with better technology but the hanger should be noted in this thread.
For reference I have included Petzl’s aluminum hangers since they also use the same spits with the same diameter holes. A standard powers 3/8 bolt can be disassembled and reassembled with these hangers.
