Rope Bag, Chalk Bag,

rope bag
uThe rope bag is designed for storing and protecting climbing rope.
uThe bag, in addition to carrying the rope, also usually unfolds to provide a flat piece of material or tarp to place the rope on during climbs.
uThe tarp protects the rope from dirt and rock that might impair integrity by causing hard-to-see micro-cuts in the rope's sheath or internal core.
uWhen conditions are very wet, a large plastic bag, such as a garbage bag, may also be used.
chalk bag
uThese are hand-sized fabric bags for holding climbers' chalk.
uChalk bags are usually cylinder- or pouch-shaped and have openings that are controlled by drawstrings.
uThe inner fabric is usually fleece, which traps chalk powder.
uChalk bags are usually attached to the back of a waist belt for easy access by either hand during a climb.
