Climbing Gear

Whether we're setting 'draws or simply clipping in, the Mammut Workhorse Keylock Quickdraw smooths the process. The ridged gate on the bolt-end 'biner gives us greater control when clipping bolts, while the rope-end 'biner's retainer keeps it steady for quick clipping. Plus, with ergonomically shaped carabiners and dogbone, this 'draw feels good in hand.

The Orbit carabiner is a solid workhorse for everyday climbing with great durability, smooth clipping action, lightweight engineering and the SphereLock closure which is an upgrade to the traditional keylock system with an even cleaner nose profile. 16 mm Nylon dogbones feature the Karstop Evo carabiner retainer on the rope end. Available in 11 and 18 cm lengths.

From body jamming to jumaring, the Ocun Webee Bigwall Climbing Harness is built to send. Equipped with seven soft gear loops and two belay loops, this harness is low-profile enough to fit in tight spaces yet ready to organize a full rack and to jug back up to our last piece of pro. When hanging, the honeycombed foam evenly distributes pressure to prevent dead leg, and as we move, the open spaces let air flow through freely to keep us cool.

Comparing the Metolius Wood Grips Deluxe II to other hangboards would be like comparing a van your sixties-loving uncle has to those deluxe-modeled vans with solar panels and built-in air conditioning. It has a vast assortment of pockets, edges, slopers, and jugs that create various trainings, and its smooth wooden construction is not only more difficult to grip, but also super friendly on the skin so you can suffer—and get stronger—longer.

Black Diamond's collection of quickdraws consists of draws with solid-gated or wire-gated carabiners, but the HotForge Hybrid Quickdraw is the only draw designed with solid and wire gates, and this Quickpack includes a set of six. The rope-clipping side is styled bright and colorful to act as a visual indicator that comes in handy when we're cruxing out and desperately searching for a solid clipping stance. The stiff, burly dogbone is easy to grab so you can take and suss out moves, and a StraitJacket stabilizes the rope-clipping carabiner for even easier clipping.

The HotForge Quickdraw Quickpack consists of six draws designed specifically for sport climbing. They're the only quickdraws in Black Diamond's collection with solid gates on both ends of each draw. Their HotForged carabiners are lighter than previoius generations, and they're designed with larger rope-bearing surfaces, and flatter profiles to reduce the chances of accidentally opening at the wrong time. The noses also got little tweaks to facilitate easier clipping, and keylock noses eliminate any chance of snagging while unclipping. The stiff, burly dogbone is easy to grab so you can take and suss out moves, and a StraitJacket stabilizes the rope-clipping carabiner for even easier clipping.…

It's always a good idea to have Petzl's Ride Ice Axe in your ski pack when the route gets icy and steep. This ultralight, compact ice axe is an essential tool when crossing glaciers or climbing steep, icy peaks. Its steel head tapers down to a mere 3mm for easy penetration, and the shaft offers a slight curve and grip for easy handling. Petzl designed this axe with a short 45cm length and beveled head so you can pack it inside backpacks.

Petzl's Grigri has become a standard in the climbing community over the past decade. Climbing gyms now test on them, and a lot of elite climbers rely on their belayers to use the Grigri for its dependable assisted braking and slack-feeding. Petzl simply nailed the balance between assisted braking and slack-feeding with this contemporary model of the Grigri Belay Device. For this newest model, Petzl expanded the rope diameter by optimizing the use specifically for ropes ranging from 8. 5 to 11mm. After doing all the research, there really isn't a larger rope diameter ideal for ropes as skinny nor as thick as the modern Grigri. Compared to the Grigri+, this specific model is ideal for experienced …

The Glacier Literide from Petzl provides excellent security and holding power in a lightweight, pack-friendly package, making it our go-to for ski mountaineering missions. The adze gives us support and step-cutting power on steep bootpacks, while the aggressive steel pick easily finds purchase on a self-arrest. Because of its small stature and featherweight aluminum shaft, this ice axe straps discretely to our pack when it's time to harvest our hard-earned powder.

Strong and compact, the Wild Country Session Quickdraw is a no-brainer for beta burns and redpoint attempts. Equipped with a slim, textured dogbone, this 'draw doesn't crowd our harness yet still provides easy handling. The rope-end 'biner features a bent gate and retainer for quick clips through the crux, while the rounded basket reduces wear on our rope.

Grivel didn't just design the Stealth Climbing Helmet to look like your expedition tent because it's cool; this helmet's unique style amplifies airflow to give you what Grivel considers the best ventilation out of any climbing helmet. This helmet also boasts a lightweight and hard polycarbonate shell paired with impact-absorbing foam for optimal protection that you'll appreciate when you're about to punt off the crux.

Sometimes an all-aluminum axe just isn't burly enough to get the job done. Camp USA's Corsa Nanotech Ice Axe combines the ultra-low weight of an aluminum ice axe with the excellent hard-ice penetration of a steel axe. The 8. 8-ounce Corsa Nanotech uses aluminum construction in the shaft and head but includes a light, strong Nanoflex steel pick and spike for better hard snow and ice penetration.

Petzl made the Nano Traxion smaller and even lighter than ever before, which is all the better for packing on mountaineering missions, big wall climbs, and anywhere you might need to perform a rescue. Designed for tactical operations, this compact pulley provides progress-capturing friction thanks to the stainless steel teeth. The pulley itself has sealed bearings for a greater performance over a long period of time.
