Black Diamond ATC Guide
Whether you're into alpine, mixed, sport, or ice climbing, the Black Diamond ATC Guide belay device offers a simple but versatile design to keep you moving through the vertical. The ATC Guide's self-locking capability comes in handy when you find yourself belaying a second, and its aggressive v-notch increases stopping and holding power. Speaking of versatility, this device handles ropes ranging in diameter from 7.7mm to 11mm so you can take it in the alpine as well as to the gym. But if you really want to know why Climbing Magazine gave it one of their prestigious Editor's Choice Award, you'll just have to try it for yourself. $27.95

Black Diamond HotWire Quickdraw
Whether you’re clipping a questionable ice screw or a bomber bolt, the lightweight Black Diamond HotWire Quickdraw makes it a smooth affair. With a keylock-nose Positron carabiner on top and a new hot-forged HotWire biner on the bottom, this streamlined quickdraw is ready for any vertical endeavor. The large internal space in each carabiner accommodates both your finger and the rope when clipping, and the Straitjacket rubber insert keeps the draw properly oriented during moments of desperation. $15.95

Black Diamond Firewire Quickdraw
By pairing two wire-gate HotWire carabiners with a burly Dynex dogbone, this draw will do it all. Trad, sport, big wall, ice, or alpine – it excels in all aspects of climbing. The low gate mass eliminates dangerous gate flutter during a fall, so your gates won't be open at the worst possible moment. The wire gates also resist the possibility of freezing, which is why these quickdraws are so popular for winter use. $17.50

Petzl Ascension
An indispensable piece of gear for jugging fixed lines, big wall climbing, and aid routes. Redesigned with a more ergonomic rubber handle and a self-cleaning steel cam, the Ascension grips your rope firmly and slides up smoothly even in nasty conditions, something you'll definitely notice after several hundred meters of jugging. The recessed trigger opens with one hand and features a safety catch to prevent the cam from opening too far. $69.95
