Aid Climbing

Black Diamond Grappling Hook

Slightly oversized, for hooking larger edges and flakes than a Cliffhanger, the Grappling Hook’s wide bipod base is remarkably stable, even on small edges.

Black Diamond Fifi Hook

A simple hook for added efficiency in aiders.

Black Diamond Alpine Aiders

A lightweight version of the Etrier, perfect for the mountains or in-a-day big wall missions.

Black Diamond Talon Hook

A versatile three-hooks-in-one design and an extra broad base for increased stability.

Black Diamond RURP™ Piton

Used in bottoming, incipient cracks, this aid tool has opened up otherwise unclimbable passages.
