Tenaya Indalo Climbing Shoe Blue, Mens 6.5/Womens 7.5
“As someone who prefers to have a one-size-fits-all sort of climbing shoe, I have yet to find a better option than the Indalo. While I think foot shape plays a large role in climbing shoe selection, and I certainly have a less standard foot shape, which the Indalo supports, (WIDE Toe Box, and SKINNY Heel), I still think I would gravitate towards the shoe regardless.”

Black Totem
“Totems in general are great cams since their lobes activate independently of each other, something other name brand cams don't do. The black totem fits between 0.2 and 0.3 and seems to place securely exactly where you need it when you need it.”

Stream2Sea Sea Clearly Mask Prep Kit Defog & Scrub
“Stream2Sea is hands down the best product to take out with you on the ocean. Their products are reef safer, and they work incredibly well. Try their leave in conditioner for a tangle-free dive.”

Garmin Descent Mk3 43mm Dive Computer Smartwatch
“The garmin is a great watch for any Freediver, but especially one who is also active in the gym and in the mountains. It's the best all around watch, without sacrificing any features in your dive computer. Now with Garmin's new Dive-specific app you can quickly review your dive profile after your dive.”

Coleman Triton Stove One Color, One Size
Sony Alpha a7 III 24MP UHD 4K Mirrorless Camera
“When I shoot for film projects, my approach is heavily reliant on the idea that the base shot itself will speak for 80% of the final quality, where editing, color, and sound work to fill in that final 20%. With this in mind, a camera that produces a high quality shot, even when I'm not on my A-game, is paramount. For me, the Sony a7 iii is this camera.”

Mammut 9.5 Crag Dry Rope Duodess
“If you're going to buy one rope, this is it. 9.5 is the perfect sweet spot to take sport cragging or trad multipitching. The dry treating is essential for a longer lifespan, and the bipattern makes it so you never have to worry about missing the middle of the rope. All qualities I tout highly.”

Friction Labs Gorilla Grip One Color, 6oz
“While I tend to believe the chalk compound one uses when they climb can be more mentally supportive than physically, when I am pushing my limit and trying the hardest stuff I can, I will always look for the Gorilla Grip. Aside from the long-staying property of the chalk itself, the Gorilla Grip Chunk sizing is effective in providing a smooth fine coat to your hands.”

Petzl Grigri + Belay Device Yellow, One Color

Surf-Fur Waterproof Parka
“Do you dive in the cold? Then get one of these. Don't hesitate. This jacket keeps you warm and dry, coming from a small family owned company. Made by a team that's out in the water every day. These guys know what they are doing, and this will keep you cozy in any weather. My favorite pick for dives on the west coast or the PNW.”

Edelrid Spoc Pulley
“My preferred top-rope solo backup device. Also a great progress capture pulley in general”

Seac Motus Freediving Fins
“The perfect beginner fin. I've purchased two, I loved them so much. Don't waste your money on carbon fiber fins. Purchase these, bang them up a bit, and take them as far as you can go before you invest in some competition fins.”

Suunto D5
“I'd like to highlight scuba features like No fly time, Safety stop, No-deco planner, and Too fast ascent, along with freedive features like, Depth notify, Dive time alarm, and Surface time. While it's imperative to understand how and why dive computers are calculating these metrics, having them easily viewable on your wrist absolutely increases you and your buddy's safety in the water and after your dives.”

Mammut Barryvox S2
“This is the best beacon on the market. 70m of range, the multiple burial features, and Mammut's quality make this a standout piece of my backcountry kit I rely on to keep me and my partners alive.”

Julbo Lightyear Goggles
“Transition goggles have been a game changer. Not having to bring multiple lenses and worry about which to choose has been so convenient. These will transition differently based on the amount of UV they are exposed to so they truly are the only pair of goggles you need. They also have a vent feature which is a nice touch”
ShopShop at BackcountryFinis Long Floating Fins
“I wear the speedo version of these when training in the Blue Hole. So far, I've taken them down to 55 meters. They pack in a bag super small and are the best way to strengthen your legs for CWTB while you're still working on EQ.”

NEMO Equipment Inc. Tensor All-Season Sleeping Pad
“The most comfortable sleeping pad I've ever slept on. It's quiet and doesn't lose air overnight. It packs down super small and comes with a patch kit. The R value is 5.4 so this is a very versatile pad that can take you pretty cold before you have to stack anything under it”
