Climbing Season Has Arrived!
Well, it’s finally that time of year. The time of year when we, reluctantly, hang up our skis and head out to find some sunbaked rocks to play on instead. After you bring your skis into Granite Chief to get them set up with storage wax, stick around and check out our selection of climbing gear that has recently arrived. And hey, if you’re feeling saucy check out the paddleboards while you’re at it too!
For the aspiring climber in your life, hook them up with the whole package all at once. The Black Diamond Momentum and Primrose harnesses are pretty much the industry standard when it comes to men’s and women’s harnesses, respectively. If someone you know maybe recently had their first taste of climbing, and trust us, it can be addictive, then there’s no better gift than the Momentum Harness Package for men or the Primrose Harness Package for women. It’s true fellas, nothing says romance like telling your significant other that you want to go spend hours playing in the dirt and getting all sweaty, all while hanging dozens to hundreds of feet off the ground.
But hey, maybe you’re already an experienced climber and you just need a few things to round out your rack. Or, maybe you’re like us, and you forget that one crucial item on your way up to Donner Summit. Well we’ve got you covered there too! Stop on in to Granite Chief and grab a couple of Freewire Quickdraws, or opt for a Posiwire if the double-wiregate isn’t your scene.
Oh, so you climb trad, do you? Bolts are for sissies? Well, to each their own, but we’ve got you covered there too! The new Camalot X4’s from BD really are a marvel. Even if you’re not ready to replace your rack and, really, what climber is? Throw a couple of X4’s on the harness and you’ll be glad when you find that tiny pin scar you just can’t protect with anything else.
No matter what your summer aspirations are, be they vertical or something slightly more grounded, we’ve got great new summer camping gear to check out like headlamps, trekking poles, and much more!
