A hex is an item of rock climbing equipment used to protect climbers from injury during a fall. They are intended to be wedged into a crack or other opening in the rock, and do not require a hammer to place. They were developed as an alternative to pitons, which are hammered into cracks and are more prone to damage the rock. Most commonly, a carabiner will be used to join the hex to the climbing rope by means of a loop of webbing, cord or a cable which is part of the hex.
Hexes are a type of nut, a hollow eccentric hexagonal prism with tapered ends, usually threaded with webbing, a swaged cable, or a cord. They are manufactured by several firms, with a range of sizes varying from about 10–100 millimetres (0.4–4 in) wide. Climbers select a range of sizes to use on a specific climb based on the characteristics of the cracks in the rock encountered on that particular climb. Sides may be straight or curved although the functioning principles remain the same no matter which shape is selected; the lack of sharp corners on curved models may make them easier to remove from the rock.

Level 27 Clothing (sometimes typeset as "LeVeL 27 Clothing" to fit the logo) is an American clothing company founded in 2000 and owned by Billy Martin from the band Good Charlotte and his best friend from high school, Steve Sievers.
The name "Level 27" comes from Billy Martin's lucky number "27" and "Level" being a video game reference. The brand has many different styles of clothing and designs. All designs are created by Billy Martin himself. Martin jokingly said that the reason for starting the company was because "we're not really good at playing guitar so we need other things to occupy us."
