- Mammut 9.5 Crag Dry Rope Duodess x 70m by Mammut — This bi-pattern rope is a solid upgrade from the original Crag Dry rope because of its easy-to-identify middle mark. If you're looking for one rope that can do it all, this is the one!

- Beal Opera 8.5mm Dry Cover Climbing Rope by Beal — When every ounce matters, this is the rope I choose for fast and light alpine missions. It's the lightest, skinniest single-rated rope on the market and it performs exactly as you need it to.
- Canyon Tech Static Rope - 9.5mm by Sterling — An ultra-durable static rope I use for building top rope anchors outdoors while guiding. It has a Technora sheath and a rugged nylon core that can withstand 30 kN. I recommend buying 30-60 meters depending on your needs.
- Sterling HTP Static Rope by Sterling — Lightweight, versatile static rope for canyoneering and hauling
This is a great lightweight and versatile static rope to use for building top rope anchors. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option as compared to the Sterling Canyon Tech, this is the static rope for you! I recommend buying 30-60 meters depending on your needs.
- Metolius Ropemaster HC Rope Bag by Metolius — A super durable and easy to carry rope bag with a padded shoulder strap. It also has a clear window on the top of the bag so you can see which rope is inside, which is a nice perk!
- Sterling Rope Wash by Sterling — To extend the life expectancy of my climbing ropes, I clean them a few times a year with this rope wash which is biodegradable and free from any chemicals that could weaken its strength.
