Metolius Half Dome Haul Bag – Rugged Climbing Pack with Balanced Carry

Rugged reliability for long days at the crag

The Metolius Half Dome Haul Bag is built to withstand rough terrain and changing weather, keeping your gear dry and accessible when you need it most. RF-welded seams create a leak-resistant seal, helping to protect your rope, harness, and chalk bag from rain spray or muddy approaches. The reinforced stitching travels along the edges with wide 3-inch webbing, delivering durability under heavy loads and repeated trips to the wall.

Designed for comfort on the move

With a padded, ergonomic suspension system, this bag eases the load on your shoulders during approach and haul. It tucks away quickly for hauling, so you can switch from a backpack-style carry to efficient rope transport without fuss. Top compression straps let you cinch the load down, keeping gear compact as you move between pitches or approaches.

Smart organization for gear on the go

Inside, internal gear loops help keep carabiners, quickdraws, and small tools organized and easy to reach. A hidden stash pocket offers a discreet spot for keys, lip balm, or a spare glove. On the exterior, a river-bag style closure opens wide for fast loading and unloading, even with heavy or awkward gear.

Real-world use cases

In real-world crag days, balanced carrying matters. Offset haul points help reduce shoulder and hip strain when you’re negotiating uneven terrain or multi-pitch routes. A drain hole promotes quick water evacuation if you encounter wet chalk or rain-soaked approaches, helping the bag dry faster between climbs. The combination of features supports smooth transitions between approaches, belays, and pack-down at the car.
