    Kristen Schindler's review

    Say it with me: One headlamp is none. Two headlamps is one. You are going to use this thing constantly, digging through drop bags, helping your runner change layers, navigating aid stations, pacing at night, reading maps, searching for lost gear, finding snacks in your car at 1 a.m., putting it on your dog, etc. Pro tip: Bring a reliable one with extra batteries or a backup light.

    Teddy Dondanville, AMGA Assistant Rock Guide & Certified Single Pitch Instructor

    Headlamps are sometimes necessary fr rock climbing. One lives inside all of my backpacks at all times. Maybe you’re getting up early before the sun to do a long multi-pitch. Maybe you want to climb all day and go home after dark. Maybe it’s both, and you started early and ended late. (I hate the days when the headlamp comes out twice.) Whatever the case, get the Storm 450 by Black Diamond.
