TOP FIVE GIFTS FOR CLIMBERS
How’s your holiday shopping coming along? If you’re looking for the best gift for the climber in your life, you’re in luck! Here are our top five gifts that the climbers we know would LOVE to see under the tree. (Looking for stocking stuffers? We’ve got a guide for that too.)
1. Scarpa Instinct VS
These climbing shoes are the perfect upgrade if you’re looking to take your climbing to the next level. Scarpa climbing shoes are known for their high quality and high performance, and the Instinct VS is no exception.
$209.00
Why we chose it: The Scarpa Instinct VS features both power and precision for demanding climbs. They have an aggressive downturn design for steep to overhanging terrain, both indoors and outdoors. These shoes feature two separate Vibram rubber compounds with the XS edge at the toe for better precision and XS grip at the heel for a secure fit. This, matched with a low stretch microsuede upper for a true fit from the start, means these shoes will help you send your next project.
2. Petzl Corax Harness
The Petzl Corax harness is truly the perfect combination of fit and features, allowing it to be your go-to harness for indoor and outdoor use. Legendary Petzl quality means this harness will be in your climbing kit for years to come.
$79.95
Why we chose it: The Petzl Corax has a wide fit range with twin adjustable buckles at the waist and also at the leg loops. This allows you to dial in the fit, whether over bulky fall and winter clothes or just a pair of shorts in the hot summer months. We also love the multiple gear loops normally found only in high-end harnesses. Suitable for all-day wear, affordably priced, and feature-rich, this harness is a must-have.
3. Evolv CAP crash pad
The Evolv CAP crash pad is the perfect first crash pad, with rock-solid construction and a simple no-nonsense design. Featuring 48”x36” of coverage and five inches of cushion to protect you from the elements, you cannot beat this pad for features and price.
$139.99
Why we chose it: Crash pads, while seemingly simple, can really put a dent in your wallet. We love the quality of this pad for the price. The backpack straps and waistband are comfortable and easy to use, while five inches of high-quality foam equals safer falls and the coverage area can't be beat at this price point.
4. Edelrid BOA Eco 60m Climbing Rope
This all-season rope features legendary Edelrid quality with an environmentally friendly construction using leftover yarns created during the normal construction process. The kernmantle design features a stretchy core surrounded by a durable outer sheath for durability.
$164.95
Why we chose it: This rope has one the highest performance-to-price ratio of any rope we carry. We also love the eco-friendly process that uses 62% less CO2, 89% less water, and 63% less energy and chemicals than a typical rope. Great working strength and feel combined with a great price makes this an easy choice for your first cord.
5. Metolius Simulator 3D Training Board
This training board features a compact footprint at only 28” wide and 8.75” in height, yet boasts a massive variety of hold types, angles, and styles. The board is designed with a fine-grained finger-friendly texture and a broad arc that mitigates overuse injuries, allowing you to train more without damaging your digits.
$99.95
Why we chose it: The Metolius Simulator is the number one training board in the world. It's used by everyone from first-year beginners to top-ranked professionals. You can’t beat the variety of holds packed into a single board. There is no better way to up your game than putting this board into your training program.
