Ryan Harris's Expert Gear Recommendations
Traditional rock climbing
Your first gear list to get started
- Camalot™ Z4 by Black Diamond — my favorite cam in smaller ranges. has a flexible stem to inspire more confidence when direction of pull of the placements is a concern. (I use the z4 cam from .1-.75)
- Camalot™ Z4 by Black Diamond — my favorite cam in the small ranges
- Camalot™ Z4 by Black Diamond — my favorite cam in the smaller ranges
- Camalot™ Z4 by Black Diamond — my favorite cam in the smaller ranges
- C4 Camalot - #1 by Black Diamond — part of my standard rack. I use this for the bigger ranges of cams, I prefer these over the ultra lights as part of my rock kit since they are made with steele cables and last longer. (however, I use the ultra light set ups for the alpine)
- C4 Camalot - #2 by Black Diamond — part of my standard rack
- C4 Camalot - #3 by Black Diamond — part of my standard rack
- Swift Protect Pro 8.9mm Dry Rope by Edelrid — my favorite rope
- Alloy Offset Set #7-11 by DMM
- TC Pro Climbing Shoe by La Sportiva
