Locking Carabiners • Every rock, trad, ice and alpine climber needs a good selection of locking carabiners. Not only do you require them for clipping in, but to build proper anchors and possibly for rescue scenarios. It’s always a good idea to keep at least one or two on your harness.

Expedition/Multi-Day Packs • Designed for heavy loads and multi-day to month-long adventures, these packs are built tough with big objectives in mind. Always be sure to head to a gear store to get the best fit, as every model is a little different. You want a good back support system, shoulder straps that can handle the weight in the pack and sufficient space for what you’re carrying. Here are some of the best big bags for 2022.
