Freewire 12cm

Black Diamond
Black Diamond Freewire 12cm

Multifunctiional and reliable!

Pros
Great for ice and snow
Wide bridge to grab
Cons
Hooked nose can snag on rope or debris
Familiarity
I’ve used it a ton

The BD Freewires are an essential tool for any climber! The wire gate beaners allow for use in a wide range of conditions such as snow and ice or comfortably warm summer days. The hooked nose becomes a nuisance in very steep climbs since removing the draw may become difficult, but it excels on vertical climbs or all kinds! I got a set of 12 of these since they did not break my budget and I knew I could use them for years to come.

The BD Momentum harness is a classic harness for any beginner looking to get some time on the rope! It is simple to use and tighten on anyone's body shape. I have continued to use this harness well into my leading and big walling experiences and it never failed to keep me going. The wide leg-loops make it comfortable to sit in all day!

This ATC is the first one I got and I am still using it 5 years later. It has belayed my friends and me for many many climbs, whether they are indoors or outdoors and on top rope or on lead. It is simple to use and has many functions such as belaying and descending. I can always rely on this device!
