Taco Portaledge
The best climbs are a long way from the car, and hauling a twenty-pound ledge to get to them is misery. The Taco gives you a real night's sleep on the wall at day-pack weight.
Two versions
SuperTaco — 1 lb 6 oz (624 g)
The fast-and-light one. Sized for a narrow 20" × 72" pad. Your feet hang slightly off the end, which is the trade that keeps the packed size tiny. For alpine missions and minimalist overnights.
Taco Wall — 2 lb (907 g)
The one for living on the wall. Heavier-duty fabric, more anchor points, side-height adjustment, roller-cam buckle. Fits a full 25" × 76" pad for the flattest bed. For big wall stances and multi-night routes.
Both pack to about the size of a two-liter bottle. Both work with the Gordito Storm Fly.
Is it a replacement for a full portaledge?
Sometimes. It works free-hanging, but it isn't comfortable enough for a multi-day free-hanging wall like the Pacific Ocean Wall. Where it shines is a route like the Nose, with intermittent standing belays. Most of what you do in a Taco is lie down and sleep, and it's very good at that.
