Trust your kit when exposure kicks in. UIAA/CE-rated helmets with low-profile vents protect without the bobblehead feel. Ergonomic harnesses feature quick-lock buckles, wide load-bearing belts, and soft leg loops that won’t bite during hanging belays. Dry-treated dynamic ropes manage sharp edges and afternoon showers; clearly marked middle and end taps speed anchors and rappels. Paired with auto-locking carabiners and assisted-braking belay devices, this system is built for single-pitch crags to glaciated alpine ridges across the West.
