Mammut Ophir Chalk Bag, up to 30% Off — $15.36 – $21.95
“Instead of having a bulky belt for a chalk bag, the Mammut Ophir Chalk Bag attaches to Mammut’s Ophir harness so you can trim down your waist a bit and have a cleaner, better organized harness. If you don’t have an Ophir harness (yet), then this bag works just as well as most chalk bags with an included large waist belt that slides through two suspension points for a secure fit. Mammut made it out of Nylon Dragon for extreme durability and resistance to abrasion, and the thick fleece lining is sure to give you all the chalk you need for a dry, secure grip on holds. The drawcord closure keeps it tightly closed so chalk doesn’t snow down on your belayer. A handy brush holder makes it easy for you to clean up any over-chalked hold, and the pocket stores your tape so you don’t have to finish the rest of multi-pitches with torn-up fingers for lack of protection.” — Backcountry
La Sportiva Miura VS Vibram XS Grip2 Climbing Shoe – Women’s, up to 50% off —$87.50 – $185.00
“From freeing hard aid lines to sending cutting-edge boulder problems, the La Sportiva Women’s Miura VS Climbing Shoe has been there, done that, and will gladly do it all over again. The aggressive shape and sticky Vibram rubber combine with the Slingshot rand and Powerhinge system to produce a shoe that crushes super steep routes and technical face climbs with equal aplomb. Even better, you can crank down the triple hook-and-loop straps when it’s time to get serious and quickly pop the shoes off after your burn.” — BC
Black Diamond Momentum Climbing Shoe, up to 45% off — $52.22 – $94.95
“It’s hard to listen to your friends teaching you how to gym climb when your feet feel scrunched worse than a ballerina’s. Black Diamond’s Momentum Climbing Shoe balances comfort with performance so you can learn how to climb comfortably. Most climbing shoes opt for leather or synthetic leather uppers to keep durable throughout your rocky adventures. Black Diamond, on the other hand, made this shoe’s upper out of a unique knit that enhances breathability without hindering overall durability. This enhanced breathability also decreases the foul smells that standard leather climbing shoes excrete in your car, closet, or wherever you store your climbing shoes. Since this isn’t a leather or synthetic leather climbing shoe, the Momentum shouldn’t stretch as much as usual climbing shoes, and if this is your first pair of climbing shoes, you might want to consider getting this pair in your street shoe size even though your friends are telling you to size down. The NeoFriction rubber sole is also unique in that it’s molded—as opposed to the usual cutting from one sheet of rubber—to the shoe in order to increase longevity and ensure traction on greasy, plastic footholds.” — BC
Mammut Bionic Alpine Belay Device, 25% off — $26.21 $34.95
“Mammut made the Bionic Alpine Belay Device superlight and super convenient for multi-pitch climbs. This auto-blocking device attaches directly to anchors to belay your second securely. Mammut added abrasion-proof steel plates everywhere the rope touches to prevent wear and sharp edges. The Bionic also has V-shaped grooves to add friction to ropes as skinny as 7.5mm, but Mammut made sure this device could hold ropes as large as 10.5mm.” — BC
Five Ten Guide Tennie Approach Shoe – Women’s, 25% off — $89.96 $119.95
“When the approach is long and rocky, be it giant granite slabs or loose fields of shale, you need a shoe with traction that’s up to the task. The Five Ten Women’s Guide Tennie Shoes use high-friction soles and soft leather to help you keep your footing and stay comfortable during your approach. EVA in the midsole adds support and fights off fatigue through the long hike in, while the water-resistant nubuck leather upper sheds moisture from passing rainstorms.” — BC
