1/2 Dome Haulbag

The Black Diamond RURP is a realised Ultimate Reality Piton. Sounds a bit over the top? Maybe not- these are one of the coolest pieces of aid gear ever devised, and their advent opened up routes once thought impossible. If you need one, you know how good they are!

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.

The Metolius Easy Daisy's are a brilliant invention that speed up the whole aiding process. They can be drawn in quickly to get you high on the current piece and be released at the flick of a wrist so you can reach up for the next one.

The OCUN Crack Gloves Lite are an improved version of the already excellent OCUN crack glove. A redesigned shape has increased comfort on the hand. Other improvements include a rubber cover over the Velcro fastening that helps to prevent it becoming undone whilst in use. The gloves are constructed of microfiber stretch suede and a highly sensitive adhesive rubber that provides maximum friction.

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 Bosun’s Chair is a padded seat for long, hanging belays. Designed for big wall missions, the Black Diamond Bosun’s Chair allows the belayer to take a full, seated rest in between climbs, and weighs just 1.1 kg for a lightweight carry.
