Scarpa Vapor Climbing Shoe $96.22 (45% off, was $174.95)

Edelweiss Power Unicore EverDry 10mm Climbing Rope

$195.46 (15% off, was $229.95)

With a diameter of 10mm, the Power Unicore EverDry from Edelweiss is a seriously tough climbing rope. Would you want to carry this thing ten miles into the backcountry? Probably not. But will it take a wicked beating at the sport crag, catching whip after whip and maintaining its integrity? Absolutely. Add an abrasion- and water-resistant sheath and you’ve got yourself a rope that will last you a very long time.

Wild Country Electron Quickdraw $16.46 (25% off, was $21.95)

The Electron Quickdraw features a straight-gate for bolt clipping and a bent-gate for rope clipping, both with keylock noses to avoid snagging while unclipping and ensuring a smooth climb.

Black Diamond Mojo Repo Chalk Bag $13.96 (30% off, was $19.95)

All chalk bags are made more or less the same—they are a bag that holds chalk… simple as that. However, the Mojo Repo is constructed out of repurposed fabric scraps from the Black Diamond factory; any product that minimizes waste is a winner in our book.
