Provenance

Founder of our Heritage Collection, Mick Tighe, used this piton carrier, briefly, back in the 1980's when carrying pitons was the 'in' thing. We can't find a maker's name on this one, so not sure of it's origin, though Meeting Point (see opposite) gives us a good idea of where it all began.
