Climbing Gear

Just like international trips, you won't make up big walls very far without the help up Trango's Passport Ascender. This ascender is surprisingly light and compact for stowing inside haul bags when it's time to free a pitch or twelve. The large hand hold has a rubber grip to give your tired hands a break while you jug, and the low-profile thumb catch stays out of the way so you don't accidentally unlock the rope. Two clip-in points help you distinguish your personal clip from your leg loop's clip.

The Classic Rock retains Wild Country's original design for climbing stoppers, and this Classic Rock Set still proves its worth for modern climbing. Its proven, long-lasting design includes a subtle curve with over-barreled edges to ensure solid, secure placements. Wild Country hollowed out the larger stoppers or a lesser weight.

When taking friends and family on some of our favorite hikes, we pack along the Petzl Conga Cord. When we reach steep, sketchy sections, we use this cord to rig a handline, ensuring they'll want to visit again.

Camp USA's Dyon Carabiner combines the snag-free conveninence of solid gates with the lightweight appeal of wire gates so you can climb with the best of both world.

Camp USA's KeyWire gate also features a SpherLock to minimize play between the gate and now. An I-Beam construction keeps the Dyon light for alpine approaches.

We value the Capitan's versatility: The ABS front and rear shell hold integrity at hot dessert crags and on freezing ice sends. The EPS impact puck absorbs unforeseen impacts from directly above, and the EPP liner provides that solid core that can take repeated abuse on the chossiest of routes.

The Black Diamond Couloir 3S Harness keeps things simple, stripping it down to pure performance. The zero-padding construction is low-profile and low-weight to be worn comfortably on the approach, while the leg loops' ice screw slots minimize the clatter. If we decide to stuff it in our pack instead, the quick-cinch buckles let us easily fit this harness over our crampons or skis when needed.

Metolius designed its Ultralight TCU to give you tiny but bomber trad gear that doesn't weigh you down. Its lightweight appeal is due to the Direct Axle Technology, which places each lobe as close to one another as possible. This technology also helps you set each cam in tricky, shallow, and narrow placements with ease. Metolius made each TCU with three wide lobes that increases its grip on the rock as opposed to conventional TCUs or even four-lobed designs, and each lobe has a cam stop that helps it act passively like a stopper. CNC machined means each cam gives better precision so you don't fumble around when you're placing it. The U-shaped double stem is very durable, and yet remains highly …

Whether we need an extra set of chocks or just want to shed weight, Wild Country's Superlight Offset Rock Set saves some grams on our rack without needing to leave pro behind. The curved head delivers three points of contact in a constriction, while the side taper increases bite in irregular placements.

Cabled routes, bolted faces, crack systems, caves, and canyons—we explore it all with our head strapped safely in the Borea Climbing Helmet. A semi-rigid headband and flexible chinstrap quickly adjust to give us a perfectly snug fit, and the rear notch curves up and out of the way of our ponytail. As we work up a sweat climbing, shimmying, and rappelling, the tough outer shell resists dings and scratches, while the fixed air ports and internal air channels help push our building heat out. And should choss rain down, the shock-absorbing liner softens the blow.

It seems like every time climbing companies add Dyneema to one of their products, climbing gets a lot easier for everyone else. Take all the stoppers in this Wild Country Rockcentric Set. Wild Country replaced the traditional wire with Dyneema, and the obvious benefit is a lighter weight, but something you probably didn't notice at first is how much that helps with securing your placements. Rigid wires can move the stopper around when you move past the placement, but Dyneema is so supple that the rope won't interfere with your placement as much.

Stay upright even when hanging, swinging, and projecting in general with the Petzl Voltige Climbing Harness. Designed only to be used in conjunction with a seat harness, the Voltige utilizes two burly clip-in points to help hold you upright and maintain a safe center of gravity even in the most demanding vertical situations.

Camp USA's Turbochest Pulley has two rollers for a smoother haul on big walls and canyoneering adventures. Unlike traditional single-rollers, the Turbochest reduces dangerous wear as well as increasing climbing efficiency. Thicker body plates enhance durability, and the shaped connection point prevents the rope from escaping during tight pendulums and traverses. Camp coated the toothed cam with a special anti-wear treatment, and drain holes rid the device of mud, grit, and ice. The Turbochest also doubles as a locking pulley for lighter loads around 110 pounds.

The Laser Speed Light is Petzl's ultralight ice screw suitable for mountaineering. The tubing is all aluminum to keep weight at a minimum, and steel reinforces the tri-toothed drill for an improved bite in ice.
