Expert Review
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.
