Find a better price on another site? We’ll match it.

Is there any way we could apply the V-scale to hot sauces? Does having short hair count as aid? Beta is cool, but what happened to Alpha? These are just some thoughts we’re having as we’re waiting for the weather to warm. Gear up before the season starts with our top picks.

Mammut
Crag Classic Rope

At a skinny 9.5mm, this all-arounder is strong enough for secure safety on any type of rock and light enough to take along on even the longest approaches.

Shop the Crag Classic

Edelrid
Jayne Harness

Ice, sport, mountaineering, the tree in your backyard—the Jayne can do it all with four gear loops, two ice screw clips, and a chalk bag hanger to boot.

Shop the Harness

Petzl
Djinn Axess Quickdraw

Simple, durable, and reliable, the Djinns also come with keylock noses that eliminate snagging on bolts and rope.

	Gearhead Take
	The first ever artificial climbing wall, Schurman Rock, was made in 1939 in Seattle. Stones were cemented and stacked together to engineer features specifically for climbers.

Scarpa
Instinct VS Climbing Shoe

An aggressive downturn and sensitive midsole allow you to toe-in on edges and solution pockets, while the innovative tension system provides max power in the big toe.

Shop the Instinct

Backcountry
Gelsa Climbing Legging

The stretch, fit, and style are great, but this Backcountry exclusive sports all-too-elusive cargo and interior pockets, so you can stash and smash.
