Good canyoneering gear can take you to some amazing places like this . . .


Gear Perspective, based in Kingsburg California near the beautiful central Sierra Nevada, has a focus on gear for canyoneering.


Here are some of their more popular offerings.

  • Micro 30 RADlineRope bag - This bag is the perfect size for 30 meters of 6 mm cord, such as the Petzl RADline. This makes it very helpful for Alpine climbers as well as canyoneering. It has double grommets in the bottom so you can tie a fixed loop, very handy for crevasse rescue. It was designed with collaboration from IFMGA guide Dave Searle, so you know it's solid. Gear Perspective gave me this bag for review, and I love it. They also make a larger version for a 60 meter 6 mm rope, if you have a longer tagline. (On their website it's under the “Search and Rescue” category.)

  • Shoulder / belt pouch - This is another one of their products that crosses over to climbing and backpacking. Keep your phone, energy bar, folded map and other essentials at the ready on your shoulder strap. Comes in lots of fun colors!

  • Double end rope bag V2 - Canyoneering folks have long realize the benefits of rope bags to keep your life tangle free. Some techniques benefit from having access to both ends of the rope in the bag, and this is designed for that.
