La Sportiva Mountain Running Laces

The La Sportiva Olympus Mons Evo is an ultra lightweight high altitude expedition boot that will keep your feet warm in the most extreme conditions. It is a narrower fit in the heel than counterparts from other brands and also has a very clever one handed lacing system that can be done with gloves on.

The La Sportiva Trango Tower GTX is a modern and lightweight B2-rated boot designed for use in mountain environments. It is suitable for technical scrambles, alpine routes and low grade winter climbing. The uppers consist of abrasion resistant zones made with high tenacity fabric and Honey-Comb Guard reinforcement in the high wear zones. The reduced weight along with the 3D-Flex System delivers on performance, allowing you to move confidently when walking or on holds.

The well-trusted Black Diamond Express Ice Screw has been around for years and happens to be the easiest and fastest placing ice screw on the market. They have seen a few improvements in their time, the most recent being lengthening of the teeth, the addition of a second clipping point on the hanger and adding a bevel shape on the colour coded handle to improve grip. The handle allows the screw to be spun in or out of the ice with speed, and without changing hand position. The tube of the screw is tapered out so that the teeth cut a slightly larger hole than the tube - this reduces friction during placements.

The Black Diamond Mission 75 is a durable alpine-style toploader pack that's suitable for anything from summer multi-pitch routes to gear-intensive winter expeditions. Now featuring updated BD X-Rip 420d fabric with UTS coating, this is the toughest pack available from Black Diamond and will withstand season after season of mountain abuse. It also features attachment points for ice tools, a front crampon pouch and a tuck-away rope strap to secure gear from the outside.

The AK37-X RT is a long-awaited addition to the Crux AK line. It is identical to the AK37, but has a floating/removable lid instead of a fixed one which adds 3-5 litres of additional capacity. It otherwise shares the distinguishing characteristics of the AK range - a 40% Kevlar® / 60% Cordura® fabric with a highly waterproof TPU lamination and a fully welded construction. A top-loading style, it features a roll-top closing system under the hood for complete waterproofness.
