Certification

Certifications

The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.

To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.

POWER HOUSE DO IT ALL

Pros
Versatile, Reliable, Bomb Proof, Great Fit
Cons
A bit heavy
Familiarity
I’ve used it a ton

I've used these for two seasons now and they have been my go to for alpine adventures.  Ive used them with two different pairs of ski boots and two different pairs of mountaineering boots and the fit is amazing with no need to swap out toe bails (like some other brands).  WI ice and steep snow th

ey do it all. Only down side is they are bit on the heavy side but if you can only swing one pair these are the way to go!

Sharpening Your Crampon

This video shows how to sharpen your crampon correctly.

The UIAA equipment standard provides a baseline for equipment performance in a test lab under controlled conditions on new equipment. Although these test conditions are relevant to the conditions encountered climbing, conditions encountered at the crags and the condition of the equipment are equally important. This recommendation from the UIAA member federation The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) provides vital equipment information that is NOT explicitly addressed in the standard, particularly failure modes of the equipment and recommendations for the use, inspection, maintenance, and retirement of equipment.
