The Black Diamond Cliffhanger is an indispensable tool for use on sketchy aid lines. It features a classic hook design and is the smaller of the two BD skyhooks that are currently available. Widely used on big walls like those in Yosemite, the Cliffhanger has a chiselled flat tip which can easily be filed to a point if needed and its bipod base helps stop any rotation.

Haul bags don't get any tougher than the Metolius Half Dome. They are made from abrasion resistant material so this haulbag will last for up to 20 big wall routes unlike some other nylon alternatives. Durability is the key to these Haulbags... The main seam is RF welded, forming a leak-proof seal that is stronger than the fabric itself. Also, all structural stitching is covered with 3" webbing and re-stitched.

The Metolius El Cap Haulbag is the biggest haulbag we can get our chalky, ripped up hands on. If your wall will take you 3 days or longer, this is the one for you. Features a waterproof closure at the top. Haul bags don't get any tougher.

The Black Diamond Stone Gloves are a soft goat leather glove for aid climbing, belaying and light via ferrata. The palm is reinforced and the knuckles are stitched with kevlar.

The DMM Daisy Chains are 135cm Dynatec daisy chains for aid climbing progression. Full strength end to end, while the pockets are designed to hold body weight only, and should not be used to anchor directly to the belay.

The Metolius 5 Step Aider is made from 25mm flat nylon webbing that is reinforced with Biothane (the stuff good haul bags are made from) to stiffen the steps, ensuring they always stay open for easy foot placement. The Aider has a classic, staggered, triangular step construction with useful sub-steps in the 2 top steps. This 5 Step Aider is tough, durable and functional with a reinforced clip-in point, full-strength grab loop and a dedicated clip-in point at the bottom for enchaining aiders without collapsing the bottom step.

The Metolius 8 Step Aiders is a ladder-style construction with 8 steps for maximum ease of use. Biothane™ step stiffeners ensure that the steps always stay open. This aider offers a reinforced clip-in point, a full-strength grab loop and sub-steps in the top two steps. It also has a dedicated clip-in point at the bottom for enchaining aiders without collapsing the bottom step. For body weight only.
