Piton

Pitons are a very common item that can be placed into a wall to create a handhold. Pitons must be hammered three times to create a permanent handhold: it is possible to use an unhammered piton, but it is difficult and quite risky. Pitons can be found commonly in Silos on surfaces, such as on top of ledges or boxes, as well as on the floor when entering a new chamber. They can also be found somewhat uncommonly in Pipeworks. They cost 1 roach at the vendor.
