Hooks, Heads and Hangers

The Yates Copper Double Head is intended for use in vertical cracks. They are more difficult to bash into a seam, but provide greater holding power than aluminium heads, therefor tend to be used in shallower and more tenuous placements. This double version is ideal for smears that are long and narrow.

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.

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.

The Smallest Sky Hook we can find. Ideal for Bat Hooking and very small edges. It has a filed hook so it can fit in Drilled 10mm holes. For bigger edges and flakes the check out the Black Diamond Cliffhanger or Petzl Sky Hook.

The Black Diamond Talon is an essential piece of gear for hooking moves. The 3 leg design means you can always get the best hook and they are mega stable once placed.

The Petzl Sky Hook & Sling is a wide hook for aiding designed for larger features, bars and holes, also known as the Goutte D'Eau.

The Petzl Fifi suspension hook is ideal for aid climbing. Hook in to rest with the Fifi and it will automatically release on upwards movement, reducing awkward unclipping manoeuvres. Lower carabiner hole for connecting a lanyard, etriers, or haul bag.
