- Lightweight construction for efficiency at altitude.
- Cold-weather durability to handle snow, ice, and mixed conditions.
- Certified safety — UIAA/CE-rated hardware and ropes built for alpine use.
- Multi-functionality — gear designed for both climbing and protection in harsh environments.

Seasonal Reminder
Before the alpine season begins, inspect your gear: sharpen crampon points, check ice axe picks for wear, and inspect ropes and slings for damage. Proper maintenance keeps your mountaineering equipment safe and expedition-ready.
