Metolius Porta-Cord™ rope bag can also be used as a lightweight pack or a rope bucket during long multipitch routes and big-wall climbs.

  • Attached 3 ft. x 3 ft. tarp keeps your rope out of dirt when you're belaying from the ground; tarp neatly stows when not in use
  • Two adjustable shoulder straps, two large side pockets and an internal hydration pocket allow bag to be used as summit/crag pack
  • Simplify your rope management while big-wall climbing by using the bag as a rope bucket; convenient clip-in handles let you hang the bag at the belay
  • Top-load and duffel-style openings offer easy access to your rope; bag is sized to accommodate a 70m rope
  • Rugged nylon fabric and a burly #10 zipper withstand the rigors of rock climbing

Imported.

    Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:

    This pack builds itself up to be a little more than it is. I have a 60meter, 10.5 mm rope, and it fills the whole thing. One would assume that, because it is a backpack rather than the traditional 1 strap bag, it would be easier to carry your rope. But, as a rope, especially a new one, is somewhat stiff, the pack is uncomfortable. And, unless you are using a small rope, little to no room is left for the shoes, harness, etc. that would make it a "crag pack". Though, it has many loops on the outside for draws and biners and such, but if you hung your shoes off of it it would be pretty annoying to have them waving around.The pack is cool looking, and the material is definitely strong enough to hold up to any abuse. I'll be returning mine to REI in exchange for a metolius ropemaster. For hiking to crags and such, save up the extra money and go buy a legitimate climbing pack (REI has a section totally for climbing packs, they make a [$]40L pack) or a quality crag pack like the Black Diamond Boa. Then you have a small hiking pack as well.

    Best value for the money. Super tough nylon material. The rope tarp pocket on the inside back can be used as a hydration bladder holder. I have drug this pack up a few multi-pitches is Joshua Tree and see no bad abrasion spots...incredible!

    Comments about Metolius Porta-Cord Rope Bag:

    This is an awesome bag. I purchased a short rope for climbing at my local gym, the 40m rope, my harness, and water bottle fit easily. It would be nice if the side pouches were big enough for a wide mouth bottle. Other than That, this bag is the perfect compact solution. It is both front and top access, the rope tarp flips in and out of the bag, and there is plenty of room for a trip to the gym or sport crag.
