Edelrid Giga Jul Belay Device
$39.71 (25% off, was $52.95)
The Giga Jul is arguably the most versatile belay device on the market. It can be used as a normal tube style for lead and top rope belaying, as well as guide mode top belaying. But with the flip of a switch, the Giga Jul becomes an assisted braking device for both belaying and rappelling. No other belay device packs as much of a punch—this thing is seriously awesome.

Edelrid Nineteen G Set Quickdraw
$18.97 (25% off, $24.95)
Edelrid boasts that the Nineteen G Carabiner is “quite possibly the lightest carabiner in the vertical world.” A tall claim indeed, but considering that the Nineteen G Set Quickdraw has a total weight of just 1.6oz, they may be right. This feather-weight quickdraw had a tough dyneema dogbone and a carabiner stabilizer on the rope clipping side for quick clips.

Edelrid Nineteen G Carabiner 6-Pack
$52.46 (25% off, was $69.95)
Remember those lightest carabiners in the world from the G Set Quickdraw above? They are also sold in six packs of color coded assortments. Each carabiner weighs just 0.68oz! These things are insanely light, offering huge potential weight savings if you replace all the non-lockers on your rack with Nineteen G Carabiner.

Edelrid Zodiac Climbing Helmet
$48.71 (25% off, was $64.95)
In most roped climbing situations, it is uncouth to brandish your bare head to the skies. Not wearing a helmet at the cliff makes you more vulnerable to rockfall and impact. To quell these dangers, the Zodiac Climbing helmet has an impact resistant outer shell to protect your noodle from falling rock, as well as an expanded foam interior for shock absorption.

Edelrid Canyoneer Guide 50L Backpack
$119.96 (25% off, was $159.95)
The Canyoneer Guide is a super rugged and durable backpack designed for hauling heavy loads. The 50 liters are big enough for schlepping all your climbing gear plus extra layers, food, and water, and it is constructed out of a thick tarpaulin material to protect whatever is inside.

Edelrid Sendero Harness
$63.71 (25% off, was $84.95)
The Sendero is a lightweight harness designed for multi-pitch missions. Weighing just 11oz, it will be hardly noticeable in your pack, yet the 3D mesh padding offers optimized comfort for those long hanging belays while your partner quests through her lead. For added safety, the Sendero features a dyneema wear indicator to let you know when the tie-in loops wear out.
