Gold standard of hooks!

I aid off several styles of hooks but if I had to bring just one hook and often that is all you need then make it this one!

This is my favorite all

This is my favorite all around hook. It's strong and very stable which gives confidence. If I were to carry just one type of hook (besides a pair of bat hooks like the Moses/Leeper Logan Bat Hook or BD Talon) it would be the Grappling Hook without a doubt. You can't go wrong with a pair of these on your rack (always get pairs of hooks so you're able to leapfrog them if you need to make multiple hook moves in a row). File the ends on an additional set down to a point for more versatile placement options when getting into climbs requiring more hook moves. Make sure to sling them the correct way by tying an overhand knot and pushing the loop of webbing through the front of the hook (you want the knot on the outside of the hook facing you while using it). This will distribute your weight in the best way to keep the hook on its placement. Remember, not to look at it as you weight it and ideally place your hand over it in case it pops. Also don't forget some type of glasses when hooking or nailing. Not the time and place to get something stuck in your eye. Also if you find your hooks constantly catching on everything while you're trying to climb rack them in a small bag (like the FISH Beef Bag, alternatively you can get something similar from Runout Customs or Skot's Wall Gear - highly recommended).

Black Diamond Grappling Hook
Designed with more stability and greater clearance than the Cliffhanger, this Black Diamond Grappling Hook is best used when hooking deeper objects. Additionally, long throw allows this hook to clear large placements. Given that it has an oversized construction, this highly versatile tool works on a wide range of larger-than-average edges and flakes. It features a wider bipod base, making it an excellently stable device to use even on the smallest ledges. This grappling hook has great versatility, strength, and a surprisingly large degree of portability. It is highly recommended for big wall climbers and group-up ascents. If you are up for the comfort of your safety and security while enjoying your challenging outdoor activity, you may not want to leave home without it. On the other hand, if you are working on some base-to-peak ascents, it's always a good idea to have a good hooking tool in your pack. Get the Black Diamond Grappling Hook now.
