Backcountry

x Black Diamond Stone Garden Rope Bag

Stone Garden's ground is as dirty as its limestone rock is fun to climb, and the Backcountry x Black Diamond Stone Garden Rope Bag keeps your rope clean from the warmups to the left of the crag all the way to one of the most popular 5.12s in the state of Utah. In the event a day on the wall is interrupted by spring showers, the bag is also designed as a rain cover for the Stone Garden Crag Backpack. You can load all your gear—shoes, rack, food, and (of course) rope—into the backpack and protect it all with the rope bag.

Despite that hybrid functionality, the Stone Garden Rope Bag's name gives its main purpose away. It's concerned with ropes first, so it includes a massive, built-in tarp that separates your clean rope from all the eroded material that dirties the belay spot, and it rolls up your rope like a burrito for easy packing when you're done. It's also equiped with color-coded tie-in points that prevent your rope from knotting up when it's packed away, and the elastic closure complements the webbing grab handles with a packable design you can stow in your backpack for the approach back to Mirror Lake Highway—or wherever you happen to find yourself wearied and chalk-dusted after a day at the crag.
