Climbing Gear

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 …

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.

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.

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.

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.

You don't know how you'll fit your deluxe woodboard above your van's door, but the Metolius Wood Grips Compact II fits above most door-jams, and just like cams, you want the perfect fit more than a bigger size. Just like the deluxe model, this Wood Grips hangboard has a total wood construction that's soft on your skin so you can suffer—and get stronger—longer.

Design and Details Rocket ice screws with integrated Dyneema slings eliminate the need for a quickdraw Lightweight, strong and durable chromoly steel construction Reverse angle threads for smooth driving and maximum holding power Front teeth engineered for the fastest and easiest placements even in the coldest, most compact ice Chromoly steel hanger spins freely on the screw which allows the screw to be placed and removed while clipped to the rope Fixed Dyneema sling has two loops - the top loop is for racking and short fixing at anchors, the bottom loop is designed to be pre-equipped with a carabiner Fixed aluminum alloy levers for the fastest possible placements and differentiated color knobs …

Prepare for smooth clipping at the crag with the Camp USA Orbit Wire Express KS Wire Anodized Quickdraw 6-Pack. Camp USA equipped each draw with straight and bent gate wire carabiners that make clipping bolts and ropes a breeze and polyester dogbones that feature Karstop Evo stabilizers to keep your rope-side carabiners from swinging around too much.

This Black Diamond Solution Harness is a limited edition with a unique colorway and professional rock climber Alex Honnold's signature on one of the leg loops. Apart from that, it's the same best-selling harness from Black Diamond. Fusion Comfort Technology fuses three separate strands to four-way stretch nylon and 3D air mesh to ensure the best performance on the wall as well as a comfortable catch when you're off the wall. The Solution comes with four gear loops, an auto-locking waist belt, and elastic leg loops with detachable risers.

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?

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.

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.
