Innovative Climbing Gear
Are you kidding me?? A travel crash pad??? This is a game changer.
Blow Up Crash Pad
Not only are these crash pads AMAZING for their ability to be taken apart and rearranged how you need them, but they're also made of recyled materials. We love to see it.
Zig Zag Crash Pads
As a smaller climber, I'm often the lightest person on the climbing trip. I want to be able to offer my belay assistance, but that can feel dangerous to both myself and the climber because of weight differences. This device has literally saved lives ...
OHM || belaying with weight difference
Ok listen…I'm a baby when it comes to the cold. But unfortunately, I often find myself outside on cold days to climb because the rock is dry and I gotta get in there before the rain starts up again! But my fingers absolutely cannot function in the co...
Hot Forge Heated Chalk Bag
Ok I've never been pregnant, but I have had many climber friends that have been while also still training and climbing. There is a TON of other resources about climbing while pregant, but that can be another section. :)
PETZL Maternity Climbing Harness
Your shoes stink. Get these bananas. Forreal. You're scaring everyone off. No but really!! I love my bananas; they not only help keep my shoes from smelling, but they keep my whole bag from smelling!
Eco Travel Deodorisers
Is this aid...?
A literal game changer. That project with the knee bar that you've been working on for months doesn't have to be painful! Thank GOD. But this brand is an actual banger; there's not only padding to help protect your skin, but there's also silicone pri...
Send Knee Pads
The soft and lightweight Chalktopus lives in your chalk bag and provides superior loose chalk coverage when squeezed.
Chalktopus
I swear by this stuff, especially if I have a big outdoor climbing trip or setting week coming up. This helps my skin hold up for longer and makes pulling onto rock on day five less painful.
Tip Juice - Rhino Skin
This product is used to help prep your skin for upcoming climbing. It helps dry and toughen your skin so that you can pull harder for longer. I love this stuff. Tip: start applying this to ONLY your palms and tips - not the top of your hands - no les...
Performance - Rhino Skin
This is THE Beta: mini portable fan for your hands. Game changer. For those of you who don't want your hands slimy from products, who can't seem to keep chalk on their hands, carry this little guy in your bag with you. It can fit in your chalk bag or...
Handheld Mini Fan
Athletic tape has been around for while, and climbers mostly use tape for their fingers. However, the tape always comes in 1" rolls which we end up tearing anyways. This tape is so much more convenient to carry around. You don't have to worry about s...
Thin Finger Tape
Ohhhhhmygod this thing is awesome. I appreciate those hand warmers that you shake up (is it magic??), but this thing last longer and you can obviously use it multiple times.
Hand Warmers Rechargeable
Hot Hands…for your feet!! If you climb outside, you're probably walking to your crag. And if you're climbing all year round…you're gonna want these in your bags. Do you ever go to climb during the winter and holy moly your shoes are FREEZING?? stick ...
HotHands Insole Foot Warmers
Injury Healing and Prevention
There are so many great tools out there these days for self care. These are some products I either own or have borrowed during seasons where I have either been injured or have used to help prevent further injury.
Climbers are always putting way too much force onto their fingers… It's just the name of the game. These cute little ice packs are specifically made for your fingers to help isolate spots that need to be tended to.
Penguin Finger Ice Packs
I swear by this thing. It is a rechargeable electric muscle massager that can stimulate the sensory nerves and muscles, activate specific natural pain gate mechanisms, relax your body and have pain management anytime you feel the need. It's a little ...
TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator Machine
This product is a super random thing that I came across that I actually end up using at the end of a long set day. I do lay on it sometimes, but it's mostly for my feet! It's kind of hard to get used to at first, but it scratches an inch that I can't...
Acupressure Mat
I absolutely cannot function in my job without this tool. My gym doesn't pay for massages or anything so this is the closest thing I have to it and it's amazing. It comes with all different types of heads for whatever you're needing.
Massage Gun
Ok ok I know, this one is expensive. But it seriously is superior to other scraper tools because of its shape. Highly recommend.
The Wave scraper Tool
This thing is awesome. I've used this tool after a really hard climbing day and it helps depump really well. I love that I'm able to make it go as tight or as loose as I want.
Foam Massage Tool
Is this a placebo..? I don't know and I don't care, it feels really good. This is like icy-hot; it contains ingredients like camphor and menthol that work by causing the skin to feel cool and then warm, which distracts from pain. The warming sensatio...
