It’s been a while since I’ve been climbing and rappelling; about 20+ years. I recently took my top rope belay test at the local rock climbing facility so that I could assist with tying in climbers and belaying them. It felt good to get back into it. With that comes some new gear in my collection. That includes a climbing harness, few locking carabiners an ATC belay/rappel device and approach shoes. I’m sure more gear will follow as I get more involved in climbing and belaying. Now I need to be able to keep my gear together and ready to go when I want to take the family to the rock wall for some fun and exercise. That requires another bag to house all the ‘stuff’. After doing some looking around I came across the Black Diamond Gym 30 gear bag. Knowing that Black Diamond makes great gear and clothing, I’ve got to check it out.
