- Summit Series Verto 27 Backpack by The North Face — My favorite pack for in-a-day summer or winter alpine missions where I’m not leaving a pack at the base of the route. I find this pack fits my small torso better than any other pack in this size range. I don’t get helmet knocking when I look up and it doesn’t hang low and interfere with gear on my harness.
- Trion 38 by Mammut — My favorite pack for 1-2 night alpine climbs. It is short and squat so it fits my small torso well and also carries weight nicely.
- Ice Pack by Hyperlite Mountain Gear — My favorite pack for carrying large loads on long trips. Pair it with some carbon fiber frame stays!
- Ultralight Frame Stays by Sockdolager Equipment
- CANARY PRO DRY 8,8MM by Edelrid
- BACK UP LINE 5MM by Beal Planet
- Nano Traxion by Petzl — Lightest progress capture pulley on the market. The progress capture can’t be locked out of the way, which I prefer, but you can’t use it as a regular pulley
- Giga Jul by Edelrid — Awesome assisted breaking device that you can use in regular ATC mode for top belaying and rappelling. Can be used with double or single ropes too.
- La Sportiva TC Pro Climbing Shoes by La Sportiva
- Crack Gloves by Black Diamond
- Women's Crag Gloves by Black Diamond
- Feather Nut Tool by Metolius Logo
- Camalot™ Ultralight by Black Diamond
- Camalot™ Z4 by Black Diamond — Favorite cams in sizes 0.3-0.75
- Totem Cam by Totem Cams — Black totem is best “0.2 size” cam out there. Totems are great in smaller sizes (up to purple)
- C.A.M.P. Nano 22 Wiregate Carabiner Purple by Camp — The lightest carabiners that I can actually operate with gloves on. I use these for racking to save some weight. They are small, but I feel like they are the least funky micro carabiners to clip.
- HMPE Cord Sling 6mm by Edelrid — I use the 120cm as my rappel tether and anchor material and the 40cm as my prusik loop.
- Sm'D Carabiner by Petzl — I like the red safety indicator and these tend to freeze up for me a lot less than other carabiners. Great for racking traxion & tibloc.
- Plume HMS K3GH by Grivel — Lightest HMS/round stock locker out there. Reduces friction while hauling or belaying. The twin gate doesn’t rattle open and doesn’t freeze shut.
- Aero Lite by Blue Ice — I use a 19 or 22cm for glacier travel. Lightest screw per cm on the market.
- HydraPak Seeker 2L Collapsible Water Container - 70 fl. oz. Green by HydraPak
- Vapor Helmet by Black Diamond
- Sapphire | Original Brim Hat by Skida
- Spatha Knife by Petzl
- Accessory Cord - 6mm by Sterling — For replacing anchors
