Big Wall

I like the quick adjustment and it's a comfortable fit.

Really good for taking photos - you can sit facing out with your back against the wall. Hang it off your Grigri for those massive cleaning jobs.

A little bit more energy absorbing than Dynex, but far heavier and bulkier.

The hook I mainly use, and I have had a few. I find it really useful when bolting (use with a daisy chain or anchor chain).

For cleaning, hanging belays and even steeply sloping ground, a bucket is better than a bag.

A choice of three sizes - 40L, 70L and 140L.

Hauling is something you need to practice, so buy in NZ and get it dialed before you jump on a plane. Loading and unloading while hanging takes time and practice.

A solid unit with a nice shape.

With ball bearings, a nice larger pulley.

Probably the best alternative to the Petzl Ascension.

A must if you are hauling and useful at times with general rope systems.

So light and small, really no reason not to carry one when multi-pitching. Particularly useful if climbing with inexperienced partners, or if there is three in the party. A recommended piece of kit.

Very strong and very little bulk, my favorite cord for anchors. Made from 7m of cord - closed loop 3.4m. 0pen cordelette
length is 5.8m. NOTE : colour of both cordelettes is Red

Combines carabiner with rigging plate.

The best fifi hook I have used.

Great storage bin or rope bucket.

Not too big, ideal for crevasse, river or rock work. Well priced.

Editor's Choice Super Topo - so small, so light, so many uses.

Saves cross loading carabiners and makes for a clean anchor.

Carabiner hole makes this knife popular with instructors.
