Gear for the Holidays, Sends for the New Year!

Pads, Buckets, & Training Tools
You don’t need much for bouldering, but the right gear makes all the difference. For outdoor sessions, a stopper pad is a great safety add-on. However, consider a chalk bucket if you’re shopping for a strictly indoor boulderer. And for anyone looking to build finger strength at home, our new screw-in ErgoBlocks are a perfect addition.

Safe Sends & Better Belays
Sport climbers rely on a balance of safety, efficiency, and comfort, which makes gift giving surprisingly straightforward. Essentials like belay glasses, headlamps, or a stick clip can make long days at the crag smoother and safer. A Connect Adjust is perfect for climbers pushing into outdoor leading. Whether they climb indoors or out, practical gear that helps them focus on the send is always a win.
