Hooking small to medium flakes, edges and rugosities, the Cliffhanger is an indispensable tool on necky aid lines. Its bipod base and chiseled point with flat tip are designed to prevent rotation and enhance stability. A 51 cm (20 in) sling of 13 mm (1/2 in) or 14 mm (9/16 in) tubular webbing is necessary for use.
