The Oz Quickdraw is Black Diamond's lightest draw for clipping stoppers in the alpine, screws on ice routes, or bolts at the crag. Despite a ridiculously low weight, the Oz still has friendly clipping features, like hoods over the gate to eliminate snags while cleaning. The super skinny Dynex sling sports a StraitJacket to stabilize the rope clipping carabiner.

Climbing at the Creek makes our knuckles tremble at the thought, but thankfully the Splitter II Gloves prevent them from actually weeping. Being more functional and durable than tape, this glove offers easy on and off with an easy adjustment.

The Oval Carabiner is Black Diamond's original biner for aid climbing, and this 3-Pack is essential for any big wall rack. Its uniform, symmetrical shape has a large carrying capacity for loads of stoppers, slings, and more. These are Black Diamond's only oval carabiners to come with a snag-free keylock nose. It's kind of like an "old meets new" thing.

Whether we're looking to upgrade our home wall's landing or want extra protection out at the boulders, the Home Pad delivers gym-floor energy wherever we place it. Spanning 8ft wide with sandwiched open-cell foam to cushion your fall, this pad is great for traverse problems, garage sessions, and van naps alike.

Unlike adhesive sports tapes, our medical grade, self-adherent, water resistant and breathable magic finger tape sticks to itself rather than the skin with gentle pressure application. Perspiration and water will not loosen the cohesive bond and the porosity permits air circulation. You can snip the tape away easily and cleanly without leaving any sticky residue and uncomfortable pulling of skin or hair.

The Chalk Bucket keeps our precious chalk easy to access when we're projecting at the boulders.

The cord ends are sewn together with strong 277 polyester thread by a precision computer-controlled machine and then reinforced with a plastic cover to boost abrasion resistance. The sewn ends minimize bulk and weight on our harness and ensure there is no knot that could come loose, all while continuing to meet strength requirements.

Let's face it, boulders are almost never in convenient areas. When we need to bushwhack and scramble to our favorite problems we make sure to strap on the Evolv Drop Pad. This pad provides peace of mind while we are on the rock, and makes it easy to get there no matter how involved the approach.

We clip on the Capitan MIPS Helmet for our big wall pursuits. The low-profile suspension system cradles our head for all-day comfort. If our climber dislodges a hold while we're on a hanging belay, the EPS puck helps absorb crown impacts, while the MIPS technology fights against rotational forces from off-center collisions.

The Horizon is designed to function in a wide variety of climbing situations, providing a full range of movement for the most challenging leads, along with comfort on long hanging belays, big whips, and long days in the mountains. The harness includes ice clipper slots, a speed buckle waist, and adjustable leg loops to work on any route, in any season.

We value the Capitan's versatility: The ABS front and rear shell hold integrity at hot dessert crags and on freezing ice sends. The EPS impact puck absorbs unforeseen impacts from directly above, and the EPP liner provides that solid core that can take repeated abuse on the chossiest of routes.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I’ve used the Prism Harness on everything from gym training to multi-pitch trad climbs, and it really shines in comfort and adjustability. The floating waistband keeps everything centered even when I’m layered up or cinched down tight, and the fixed leg loops stay snug without feeling restrictive.

Trango’s floating waistband technology ensures a balanced fit every time, no matter how many layers we have on or how tight we cinch it down. The Prism Harness features four streamlined gear loops for intuitive organization and fast access to protection when every second counts. Fixed leg loops and adjustable risers provide a snug fit that moves naturally with us on the wall. From sport crags to alpine objectives, this harness balances lightweight design with reliable support, so we can push our limits in total confidence.

As a year-round climber, you need gear that withstands both the test of time and the most rugged routes, so you rely on the Black Diamond Men's Technician Harness for every send. From sharp, single-pitch limestone sport routes to hanging by an axe from a frozen waterfall, the Technician's durable Fusion Comfort Technology waistband and leg loops were built to handle the most abrasive conditions while wicking away nervous sweat. Five gear loops and four ice clipper slots hold any sized rack for whatever vertical task you take on next, and adjustable leg loops and waist buckles make it easy to transition from accommodating your extra winter layers while on the ice or your shorts when you're high on the wall clipping bolts.
