Ski Mountaineering Gear

The best ski lines often require extra precautions on approach or descent. Use crampons and ice axes on frozen spring mornings. A harness, rappel device, and a length of rope are good insurance on descents that may or may not go. Maybe the mountain is just hard to climb, requiring protection.

Versatile, convenient and can save the day! Beal's accessory cord has as many uses as a caterpillar has legs. These smaller diameter options can be used for repairs, for hanging or attaching things to your pack or yourself, or as a small lasso for your cat.

Much like how a photon is a coalesced packet of magnetic and electric fields, the CAMP Photon Wire Carabiner is a combination of intelligent design, ease of use, and smart construction in a light package. One of the lightest carabiners out there, CAMP achieved the low weight by tweaking the geometry to require less material for the same strength, meaning they don't have to shrink t..

If you replace both the shaft and head of George Washington’s ice ax, is it still the same ax? Trick question: he died before the first modern ice axe was created in 1840.

X-Alp Leash – Padded leash with a “lock o..

Black Diamond held no punches when cutting weight for their LiteForge Screwgate Carabiner-- they even removed the unnecessary letters in 'light'. Do you know how serious you have to be about 'light is right' to change the spelling of a word? It's been spelled 'light' since Old English was a commonly spoken language. Those folks over at BD really aren't messing around. Of course, li..

The CAMP Nimbus Lock is a compact, HMS-style carabiner that is well-suited for belaying and rappelling.

The nose features CAMP's SphereLock construction, which prevents it from snagging on webbin..

The weight of a wire-gate with the function of a traditional spring-gate? Sounds great! Petzl’s new Ange L (L for Large) weighs in at a svelte 34g with a seriously impressive 22kn major axis breaking strength. This is primarily due to the H-profile shaping. However, none of this matters if the gear doesn’t function properly. Luckily, the Ange is also incredibly well designed for sm..

It's well known that the Blue Ice Aero Lite ice screws help you levitate up ice climbs, thanks in part to their three-toothed design.

Everybody drops their keys, phone, or wallet on a near-daily basis (if not, you're probably from the same planet as Elon Musk).

However, you'll pay a steeper price (pun intended) than that if you drop your ..
