Top steep and cheap Deals & Price Drops for January 2026

On any given redpoint attempt, you can count on something going wrong whether it's incorrect beta or your belayer gently tugging the rope. No matter what goes wrong, you can count on Trango's Reaction Quickdraw keeping you connected to the bolt. This is one of Trango's burlier quickdraws, and a pack of six gets you up the first six bolts. Hopefully it's a short route.

To drop some grams but keep strength, we swap out some beefy 'biners with the Metolius F. S. Mini II Carabiner. The compact size retains full strength and features a larger gate opening to also retain clipping ease. On traverses and vertical routes, the wire gate and flared nose reduce shuttering as the spine scrapes the wall, letting us trust our gear, so we can focus on the beta.

Rather than waste time measuring out sections of cord spools and then cutting, burning, re-cutting, and re-burning them, grab some BlueWater Pre Cut Accessory Cord, which delivers 50 feet of ultra-strong 3 mm cord. At just 6. 7 grams per meter, this lightweight cord is well suited for a multitude of backcountry needs.

A round of applause is in order every time the Metolius Bravo Quickdraw helps your belayer catch you anytime you fall off the climb. This small, light quickdraw keeps your mind off weighty harnesses on focused on the crux, and the skinny dogbone stabilizes the rope-clipping carabiner so you don't blow the clip before the fall.

The Metolius Belay Glove gives the belayer a huge advantage when controlling the rope in the event of a fall or while rappelling. The Metolius Belay Glove provides a snug fit and incredible dexterity. A durable cowhide outer molds comfortably to your hand, while split-cowhide reinforcements on the palm and triple stitching will ensure it lasts for seasons come. The Metolius Belay Glove has a webbing clip-in loop and a hook and loop wrist closure.

As versatile as its namesake, the Black Diamond Solution Babsi Edition Harness is what we're tying into whether we're sending big walls or pulling plastic. The rise and fit were made for the female build for comfort that moves with us, while Black Diamond's Fusion Comfort Tech evenly distributes weight and air mesh padding cushions without stifling to minimize pressure points when hanging and to wick away sweat when battling the crux.

After a terrifying A4 pitch, the last thing you want to do is struggle to haul up the pig. Trail the BlueWater 9. 5mm Haul Line and take some of the frustration out of the process. The low stretch reduces bounce for greater efficiency, and the slim diameter fits great in capture pulleys while keeping weight to a minimum.

The 9. 4 Climbing Rope is Black Diamond's skinniest line that's certified solely for for single use. It's a balance between lightness and durability that advanced climbers look for whether they're projecting sport or trad. Its 9. 4mm diameter is at once supple and strong to slide through carabiners without much rope drag and still take a surprising amount of falls. Since it sits on the skinnier side, this rope is a great option for the occasional alpine approach as long as the rocks are dry.

When outfitting our cams with 'biners, we do it with the Metolius F. S. Mini II Jet Carabiner Set. Each 'biner is a different color to match our cams, while the compact size minimizes weight without sacrificing strength. Although these 'biners are smaller, they feature a large gate opening for smooth, efficient clipping, and the flared noses help prevent accidental openings as they scrape against the wall or catch our fall.

When hiking in the snow and ice, having a traction device can significantly improve our comfort and stability on the trails. The Kahtoola NANOspikes v2 Crampon is the answer when we are hiking in winter conditions on flatter, icy trails. Ten tungsten carbide spikes on the bottom of the crampons dig into ice and hard-packed snow for traction. The Thermoplastic Elastomer Harness fits around our shoes or boots and remains elastic down to negative temperatures. A raised heel tab allows for an easy entry and exit even with frozen or gloves hands, and a toe bail adds extra security and restricts our feet from slipping through the front of the harness when descending.
