Small flared placements can be dealt with very effectively; providing of course you’ve got some Peenuts on your rack.
These offset and tapered nuts are worth their weight in gold on granite and slate. They allow a bigger area of surface contact than the smaller brass micro nuts. This means that the energy generated in a fall is spread out and the rock is less likely to break.
If you climb on quarried rock a lot this type of nut really comes into its own. Nothing fits those flared peg scars like a set of Peenuts.
Asymmetrical taper gives stable placements in offset cracks
Large surface area effectively dissipates force
