Teeny haul bag?
|
My friend was telling me about a really small haul bag (he said made by Metolius) for taking just a few items up if you don't want to do a long free climb with a haul kit etc. He described it as fitting in the palm of your hand or around that size. It sounded like you could put some stuff in, bring it up on a thin line after reaching the anchors, and then haul on big objectives. |

They make two sizes of haul pack... i have both and are indeed good for hauling say... drill bolt kit water and layers . |
|
Is this what your thinking of - metoliusclimbing.com/waste_… ? |

The Metolius Shield is a 42 L backpack built like a haulbag. But the material is not as robust as a real HB. |

Check out the Fish Atom Smasher. |

DMM and Fish Products both make small sacks out of haul material. The straps are nowhere near as solid as Metolius stuff, but Metolius is much bigger, not anywhere near the size of your hand. Fish Beef bags: Pointy objects like bolt kits, headlamps, ice tools and the like make rubbish out of ordinary bags. Enter the Beefbag. The body features 18 oz. RBS fabric and has an easy closing draw collar top. Beefbag sizes: 5"x6" (Sm), 6"x10" (Med), 8"x15" (Lrg). The clip in loop is large enough to grab with gloves on, yet can be clipped in short if you need to keep the bag close to your body.DMM Tool Bag |

I like Fish stuff sacks and beef bags for this stuff. Tell Russ you want haul bag material and for a couple of extra bucks you'll probably get it. I sometimes carry a lot of stuff on my waist in one and could easily use it as a mini haul bag. |

Russ is a real good guy to support. Be aware that his stuff is all built to order, so allow time for it. He's done some custom stuff for me when I went off with "do you have anything that, except it would be larger than that... blah blah" and I'm damned appreciative of his quality and skill in making it, just give him time to put it in the schedule and get it done. |
