Metolius
1/2 Dome Haulbag
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.
Metolius
El Cap Haulbag
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.

Black Diamond
Grappling Hook
The Black Diamond Grappling Hook is a monster large sized sky hook for use on larger flakes and edges. The Grappling hook is capable of hooking larger flakes than the Cliffhanger, whilst remaining remarkably stable on small edges thanks to it's massive bipod base.
Black Diamond
Cliffhanger
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.
Black Diamond
Rope Bucket
The Black Diamond Rope Bucket is a hanging rope bag designed for big walling but equally handy on sea cliffs. Originally designed by Black Diamond for keeping ropes organised on big wall belays, our staff and customers have found this rope bag very useful in Pembroke and other sea cliff locations where you are abseiling in to a hanging belay. Simply feed the rope in at the top of the cliff, zip up the side panel and sling it over your shoulder.
