Pitons
When climbing, a piton is a metal spike (usually steel) that is hammered into a crack or seam in the climbing surface and acts as an anchor. Pitons are equipped with an eye hole or a ring to which a carabiner is attached; the carabiner can then be attached directly or indirectly to a climbing rope.
Pitons are used in narrow rock cracks. CanyonZone has various sizes in different designs and material types in the range.
For a good choice of the piton for your use see: How to choose the right piton?
