Cora Hanson, AMGA Single Pitch Instructor
I normally carry two of these multi-purpose H-style lockers: one to hold my belay gloves, and the other to clean a sport route or clove in at an anchor while trad/multi-pitch climbing.

My favorite lockers, great for clove hitches, hunters and clipping things to anchors! Its lightweight but still very easy to open and versatile.
