Climbing Gear

We tie in with the Aquila for optimal comfort from bolted routes to clean cracks. The wider waist evenly distributes pressure from our larger frame, letting us figure out beta without distracting hot spots, while the thin, flexible padding follows our every twist and bend.

The Boa Climbing Rope has been Edelrid's best-seller for seasons because it's so versatile for beginner sport climbers and advanced trad climbers. Its narrow diameter balances easy handling with a light weight to appease beginners and advanced climbers alike. Edelrid treated this standard climbing rope with Thermo Shield for ideal handling out of the bag.

We love that Black Diamond shaved a quarter of the weight off its best-selling camming device to make the Camalot Ultralight more appropriate for long approaches and alpine climbing. A critical glance will show that each cam weighs a couple ounces less than its appropriately sized C4 counterpart, and although that doesn't seem like much, when you're hauling three number threes up Castleton's North Face, numerous threes and fours for Lone Peak's Hyperform, or a desert rack up Washer Woman, these ultralight beauties really make a world of difference. Black Diamond achieved a lighter weight out of the already light C4 by replacing the stem with continuous Dyneema rope infused in plastic. Black …

An impressive 20% lighter than its predecessor, the Salathe Lite gives us protection we forget is there. Built with a new shell material, this helmet delivers on strength and impact-resistance at a much lower weight, while the ergonomic interior gives us a more low-profile fit.

The Contact Wall Rope is a powerhouse at the gym. The specific lengths were chosen for sending on plastic, making rope management easier indoors. When we have laps on the schedule, the thick, rugged sheath steps up to the challenge. Petzl stabilized the core strands, giving our partner improved, consistent handling that feeds smoothly through their belay device when paying us slack.

Plugging gear with our Wallnut Set gives us the confidence to push through the crux. With dual-orientation placement capabilities and a tapered shape, these pieces of pro give confidence-inspiring protection on a wide variety of cracks.

The engineers over at Petzl must never be satisfied, because while the Grigri is already a best-seller, and perhaps the most popular assisted braking belay device on the market, the Grigri + Belay Device offers a smoother, safer performance than its predecessors. Petzl promises your rope—as long as it isn't skinnier than 8. 9mm—will slide through the device so smoothly that you won't have to place your thumb over the brake in order to dish out slack, so you can belay with this device in the same way that you would a standard tube device. Petzl integrated an anti-panic locking system that will lock the Grigi + up when overzealous beginners—or advanced climbers for that matter—pull down on the b…

The 9. 9 Climbing Rope is Black Diamond's thickest and most durable climbing rope, and it's still versatile for virtually any style of climb. This rope balances the burliness required for big-wall projects with the beginner-friendly handling that new climbers need at the gym. Its Endurance rope boasts hardcore durability against rocky edges, and there's a half mark for easily identifying the rope's center for rigging rappels.

The Metolius Safe Tech Deluxe Harness is one of the best fitting, safest harnesses in the world. It's a beefed up version of the All-Around and is designed to lend maximum support to the lower back while simultaneously providing unparalleled freedom of movement. Hard on the outside, soft on the inside, this harness features a burly 1050-denier outer layer and a plush polyethylene foam interior with a brushed inner lining, making it ideal for big walls where comfort and durability are crucial. Every component—including gear, haul, and belay loops, as well as leg risers—are engineered to withstand a load of at least 10kN, which is full strength and more than the typical impact force rating of a…

From bouldery sport routes to long trad climbs to top rope sessions, Edelrid's Boa Eco 9. 8mm Climbing Rope will keep you safe and confident while you send. Edlerid made it from high-quality yarns that were left over from the production of previous ropes, so no new fibers were created for its production to reduce waste and environmental impact. A Thermo Shield treatment keeps the Boa Eco supple and smooth throughout its life, and the kernmantle construction combines a stretchy core with a durable outer sheath for long-lasting strength and killer handling.

The Petzl Summit Mountaineering Axe has an anodized aluminum shaft for added protection in the elements. A hot-forged steel head and adze ensure plenty of durability so as to be able to handle the abuse of life in the mountains; you won’t need to re-sharpen it every time you head out for some peak bagging. Petzl also curved the upper shaft for improved clearance on steep terrain so you can take it on technical routes instead of only walk-ups. A stainless steel bottom spike enables easy plunging into all but the iciest of footing. With carabiner clips on the top and bottom, this axe can be used easily and efficiently as an anchor-system.

Petzl had the Volta Dry Climbing Rope certified for use as a single, twin, or half rope so we can climb crags, ice, big walls, or mixed alpine routes with the same rope. The Volta sports a skinny 9. 2-millimeter diameter and an ultralight weight (55 grams per meter) to keep elite climbers content. Petzl treated this rope with a Duratec dry treatment to resist water, dirt, and abrasion, and the treatment also provides better rope grip and handling in cold, wet conditions. This rope also has an UltraSonic finish to bond the core and sheathe together in order to eliminate frayed ends and enhance the Volta's overall durability. Its middle mark helps us find the center of the rope for quicker descents,…
