Why we like the Hollow Block
What is great about the Hollow Block is that it is so light and compacts so nicely that you can have a few in you bag and forget about them until they’re needed. Imagine that you realise that you’re short of a rope grab out in the middle of nowhere, but you’ve got your handy Hollow Block stowed.
