    Your first trad rack - Katie Mayo

    Folks who are new to trad, start here :)

    Katie Mayo's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu

    Products in this list

    • Friend Camming Device by Wild Country — The Wild Country (WC) "friends" can be extended without an alpine draw, which I think makes them more convenient for new trad leaders.
    • Workhorse HMS Screwgate Carabiner by Mammut
    • Sender Wire Quickdraw by Mammut
    • Helium 3.0 Rack - 6-Pack by Wild Country — When you buy cams, they don't come with a carabiner... you'll need this to rack them on your harness or gear sling.
    • Tommy Caldwell Eco Dry DuoTec Climbing Rope - 9.6mm by Edelrid — The dry rope is great for alpine routes where your rope needs to work after running across some wetness/ice.
    • Pro-Key Nut Tool + Leash by Wild Country — The leash will keep your second from dropping it ;)
    • inReach Mini 2 by Garmin
    • Stopper Set Pro by Black Diamond
    • Alloy Offset Set #7-11 by DMM
    • Totem Cam by Totem Cams
    • Skywalker 3.0 Climbing Helmet by Mammut
