EQUIPMENT

Climbing is a gear-intensive sport, and we are always relying on the gear for our safety. This is why we need to select the best equipment from the best companies and from the best shops.

We believe Black Diamond Equipment, Ltd manufactures THE BEST climbing gear available. This is why we try to use as much of it as possible for the equipment we use personally as well as for our guests to use.

To cover our backs (and the rest of our bodies) we put our trust in Mountain Hardwear, offering the latest innovations and materials in their outerwear.

We rely on two shops for our needs and refer our guests to them. They are always well stocked and have employees who are avid users of the specialty equipment they sell. The friendly, expert advice you get from these guys will save you more than the $$$ you might think you're saving by buying gear at some chain store - or worse - website discounter.

These shops are not only competitively priced, but they are always trying to support the areas we all love to visit, so please consider them first for all your outdoor needs.
