    Climbing Gear - Carol Viau

    Items I use.

    Carol Viau's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu

    Products in this list

    • Women's Solution Guide Harness by Black Diamond — Happy with this BD harness. I personally like adjustable leg loops in case I'm wearing extra layers.
    • Women's Half Dome Helmet by Black Diamond — Fan of any helmet that allows my ponytail to fly.
    • Pro Stopper Set #1-13 by Black Diamond — Nuts are a great addition to any rack. I have this set.
    • Camalot™ Ultralight by Black Diamond — Ultralight cams come in sizes 1-4. If you have the budget, I recommend springing for it. If your budget is limited, go with the regular cams in the next link I share.
    • C4 Camalot Set by Black Diamond — Durable cam sets. A little heavier than the ultralights, but the price is right!
    • HotForge Hybrid Quickdraw Quickpack 12cm by Black Diamond — These come in fun colors now! Mine are a boring black/grey, but they're lightweight and great.
    • Infinity Cord by Black Diamond — Several sizes are available. I have the short and long, but not the mid size one. Short is great for a rappel extension, long is great for many uses.
    • Edelrid Tommy Caldwell Multi-Colored Eco Dry Rope 9.3 mm X 60 M by Edelrid — I have this rope in a 60m and a 70m. I'm a fan of a bi color rope so there is no guessing where the middle is.
    • Ohm II Assisted-Braking Resistor by Edelrid — I've used the Ohm for several years now with partners that are heavier than me. No more flying into the air when my partner takes a leader fall, and no more wedgies when I'm lowering them! Highly recommend.
    • R1 Pullover Hoodie - Women's by Patagonia — I like this as a warm layer on colder climbing days or as one of many layers for skiing.
