- 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)

- BLUE ICE Alpine Runner by Blue Ice — frequently use this as an alpine draw to extend my placements and even to extend my rappel device
- Grigri Belay Device-assisted breaking device(ABD) by Petzl — my go to device for lead belaying, and multi pitch climb. saves my elbows from wear and tear when I belay from the top
- Escaper (emergency use) by Beal — the beal escaper is a great tool to descend while rock climbing, I leave this in the bottom of my back and break it out seldomly, but really nice for bail use
- Petzl Connect Adjust Lanyard Orange by Petzl — I use this while single pitch climbing, and rappelling/aiding on bigger multi pitch climbing
- Spatha Knife by Petzl — another item that lives with my medical kit mostly, on more adventurous climbs this is a useful tool to cut old wedding from mangled anchors and replace your own
- Infinity Cord by Black Diamond — this is a new to the climbing world, but it's 4mm fully rated anchor material, when you flatten it with you hand it will maintain shape and make it easier to thread through rock for anchoring
- Harfang Tech Crampon by Blue Ice
