Climbing & Mountaineering
Whether you're headed to Cape Hedo, the limestone cliffs near Kanna-Chyo, the red and white walls near Cape Meada or just the local rock gym, it's nice to get great climbing gear without spending all your money. If you're a world traveler or just a beginning climber, we can help outfit you for your next trip. From harnesses to shoes, ice axes to crampons, Sierra Trading Post carries a range of equipment, apparel and accessories from reliable companies like Cassin, La Sportiva, Black Diamond and Scarpa - brands experienced climbers have trusted for years.
Climbing and Approach Shoes: Specially designed climbing shoes are made with a sticky rubber sole and rand, extended lacing and tighter fit to offer improved grip when edging, smearing or jamming cracks. Many experienced climbers buy their rock shoes a half to full size smaller for improved sensitivity and hold. For shoes that work for light hiking and bouldering, try a set of approach shoes - you'll get the best of climbing shoe and light trail shoe in one package. Shop climbing and approach shoes
Harnesses: Climbing harnesses are fitted for strength, comfort and mobility. Mountaineering and big wall harnesses typically have better padding and more loops to hold your gear. For the rock gym, a lighter, less bulky sport climbing harness is generally preferred. Shop climbing harnesses
Ropes: For climbing, a dynamic rope is rated by its thickness or diameter (usually in millimeters), elongation percentage (how much it will stretch in a fall), impact force and length. Thicker ropes will take more falls before having to be retired while thinner ropes are ideal for experienced climbers looking for lighter weight. Outdoor climbers should look for dry core ropes with friction-reducing sheaths. Shop climbing ropes
