I use this for my commercial window cleaning and it works great. Beats carrying about a huge hook

Great small hook super robust and good metal that doesn't bend under high loads. Get hookin' fast and secure with the Cliffhanger!

My only complaint is that it doesn't not come with the webbing to make the attachment loop. Other than that it is great

What can I say, it's a metal hook in heavy gauge steel. That's what you get. The tabs at the bottom help it find a stable placement, and the holes are good for tying your cord or webbing.

Great medium size hook, got a pair and filed one to have a pointy tip

Used for work positioning on high rise buildings along with the normal twin ropes. Used with Petzl Grillon to achieve an adjustable sideways anchor for detailed rope work, painting around window frames mostly, but we have aid climbed on two at a time as well. This model grips the best as the knife edge is held in place by the directional pull and the talons hold the webbing off the wall but not too far so that they put an angular force on the edge. BD Rocks, again.

Black Diamond Cliffhanger
It is very ideal and essential to use the Black Diamond Cliffhanger when traversing and climbing big walls a definite must-have for the regular backpacker, mountaineer, and trekker. With its chiseled point and flat tip features, it was designed for the purpose of providing safety and stability. The hook features a bipod base that was intended to reduce rotation, ensuring one of safety and security. Being very light weight at 1.5 ounces (with packaging: 0.25 pounds) and 2.5 inches in length, one can easily tuck it away for easy access and use it when needed. But one should not underestimate its strength and durability. The Black Diamond Cliffhanger is an indispensable tool on necky aid lines. It can hook small to medium flakes, edges, and rugosities, maximizing its functionalities and usefulness. For a product having the above-mentioned features, it is reasonably priced. Please note that this product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.
