Climbing Gear

The LiteWire Quickdraw is Black Diamond's lightest draw designed for every style of climbing from rock to ice. The LiteWire carabiners come in an even lighter weight this season, and somehow have larger rope-bearing surfaces for better longevity. Black Diamond tweaked the nose's geometry to facilitate easier clipping and unclipping. The dogbone packs small and still packs a punch when it comes to strength.

When setting up a top rope for our friends, we rig it with Edelrid's Bulletproof Screw Locking Carabiner. The steel apex holds strong against rope friction, preventing premature wear, while the screw gate lets us lock it up with just one hand.

Rope management, anchors, and extendable draws: The Express Dyneema Runner takes on many roles in the vertical world, which is why we always have a couple twisted to our harness.

Made with high-quality materials that are left over from production, the We Care Chalk Bag is a reliable container for our precious chalk when we're dialing in beta on our project or getting in several pitches before work.

Petzl shaped the Am'D Locking Carabiner asymmetrically to accommodate ascenders and descenders for mountaineering, canyoneering, and big wall climbing. This carabiner comes with in various locking styles, from the standard screw-lock to the super secure triact-lock. A weight-savings H-profile and a snag-free keylock nose make the Am-D excellent for any climbing scenario, whether it's a belay or part of an anchor.

Climbers can be pretty picky about what rock they want to ascend. Some prefer long granite pitches high in the alpine, while others dig limestone or sandstone climbs closer to the ground. There are even some who don't prefer rock at all―ie. plastic pullers. Whatever your preference, Petzl's Sm'D Locking Carabiner will serve you in good stead. Its unique I profile keeps things light on long alpine approaches, and it still ensures long-lasting durability for belaying at gyms and crags. The Sm'D also features a unique, discrete hole at the bottom of the gate that secures Petzl's Tibloc or Micro Traxion so you don't lose them mid-climb.

For a carabiner that lives in harmony with our belay device, we look to the Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate Carabiner. The innovative belay retainer keeps the carabiner in its proper orientation as we give our partner a catch, no more dangerous cross-loading. The unique pear shape keeps our system streamlined while still giving plenty of room and a smooth surface for a Munter hitch. From icy alpine sends to sandy desert routes, the screwgate remains operational, never freezing or gunking up.
