Climbing Gear

With no bulk and all strength, the Couloir is an essential on our big mountain pursuits. This harness packs down to the size of an orange for compact stashing, while the adjustable leg loops clip open, letting us kit up without removing our skis or crampons.

Black Diamond's Ultralight Ice Screw was designed because weight matters for those serious fast and light missions. Looking to shave weight wherever they could, Black Diamond constructed this specialty ice screw out of aluminum with a steel tip so as to not compromise drilling efficiency while also dropping weight in critical areas. The hangar geometry has been updated to provide the strength required and still boast the double openings that come with Black Diamond's express ice screws. A folding handle shaves more weight when you thought the product developers couldn't keep finding ways to cut back, and the handles are color coded so you can choose the correct length and drill the screw on …

Black Diamond continues to lead the charge on innovating camming devices. First there was the original Camalot, which still continues to be regarded as the gold standard of camming devices everywhere, and then they started lightening things up with the C3, X4, and current Ultralight models. Now, the Camalot Z4 replaces the X4 as Black Diamond's most technically advanced camming device specialized for smaller cracks like the splitters in Indian Creek, or even if you're going light and fast in the Bugaboos. Black Diamond designed the Z4 range of Camalots with BD's top trad athletes to ensure everything any climber could ever want in a cam. Finally, climbers can now squeeze a single-stemmed camming …

The Mach Express Dyneema Alpine Quickdraw - 4-Pack is Camp USA's ultimate draw for trad, multi-pitch, and alpine climbing. It pairs Camp USA's lightest carabiner—the Nano 22—and the lightest, full-size carabiner—the Photon Wire—with a slim, durable Dyneema sling to stay as light and as ergonomic as possible. The Photon Wire is easy to clip your rope to, and the Nano 22 is an obvious choice for clipping stoppers and pitons. The Dyneema sling extends 60cm to reduce rope drag on wandering climbs.

Light enough for redpoints and comfortable enough for multi-pitches, Wild Country's Session Harness is built for all vertical pursuits on rock. The airy, flexible construction keeps us cool and free as we climb, while the plush padding eliminates pressure points when on hanging belay.

Lighter and more convenient than ever before, the Black Diamond Camalot C4 brings the muscle without the heft. Coming in 10% lighter than its predecessor, this iteration saves grams without losing strength and maintains the same camming angle and placement ranges we have come to depend on. Giving the larger sizes stiffer stems, Black Diamond has uniformed flex across the line, so the 6 no longer feels wobblier than the 0. 3.

When you're doing 5000 feet of climbing with only a few pitches of fixed rope, it pays to have minimalist gear like the CAMP Solo Ascender. By eliminating the bulky handle found on most ascenders, CAMP managed to make the Solo weigh in at only 5. 1 ounces. You don't need a handle to cruise up a 70-degree slope on fixed lines anyway, so why carry one?

Mammut's Sender series consists of high-performing climbing gear for all styles of ascent, and the Sender Harness is hyperlight and geared for all-around sending. It has that light, breathable, free-moving design that sport climbers love to fall into when they're projecting, and it's extremely packable for mountaineers and ice climbers. Mammut added four attachments for ice screws, and there are two rigid gear loops and two webbing gear loops for cams and quickdraws, and Mammut added a haul loop and chalk bag attachment for a full arsenal of climbing gear for whatever route you want to send.

When we are high up on a frozen wall and need to place an anchor we trust the C. A. M. P. USA Rocket Plus Ice Screw to get the job done. Available in three different sizes and made out of chromoly steel, the Rocket Plus Ice Screw is lightweight, durable, and dependable. Each screw has an integrated Dyneema lanyard for attaching to a carabiner, and a hand fold-out lever allows us to easily turn the screw into the ice. The sharp front teeth on the screw bite deep into the ice for easy fixing, and reverse angle threads turn smoothly and hold tight.

From summer crags to ski tours, we have the Meteora clipped to our head.

Pitches on pitches on pitches—it's so nice to start the next pitch of climbing right where we ended the last pitch, as opposed to cumbersomely carrying our climbing rope across a dusty crag. There are a couple things multi-pitch climbers look for in harnesses that sport climbers do not—comfort and gear storage. The Adjama Harness features Petzl's EndoFrame Technology, which uses a wider waistband made of thin foam and sewn-in webbing. The adjustable leg loops have the same technology, and the result is a well-supported, surprisingly comfortable harness that's without any pressure points when we're hanging at belays.
