The
big pig you love to hate, the Zion’s interior
holds plenty of gear for the wall you know will take
a while. Built from tough vinyl-laminated nylon,
it’ll handle a beating. The hip belt and straps
are padded with two-centimeter EVA foam and tuck
away fast when you’re heading up. Includes
a built-in belay seat and a double-walled skirt.

Tips
Dealing
with Miss Piggy

| Packing
your haul bag in an organized manner can brighten
your next vertical adventure. First off, place
a foam-sleeping pad around the bottom, inside
perimeter to protect the internal guts of the “pig.” Water
bottles go in first then sleeping bags, clothing
and food. This helps to prevent a soaked bivy
kit in case things go south and a water bottle
blows. To “soften” belay duty keep
some water, food and a belay coat at the top
of the bag for easy retrieval. Attach the static
haul line directly to the longer haul strap
and then connect the shorter haul strap to
the longer with locking biners. This makes
getting into the piggy at belays a breeze.
It’s a good idea to protect the haul
line knot with a cut-off top of a plastic soda
bottle. Don’t forget to remove the shoulder
straps from the outside before launching into
the unknown. Now, put your game face on and
communicate with your partner, as it would
be heartbreaking to send your “comfort
ship” to the deck. |
