Climbing & Mountaineering Equipment

Equip yourself for technical mountain terrain with Gokyo climbing & mountaineering equipment, selected for rock climbing, ice and snow travel, high-altitude expeditions & mountaineering. The collection includes carabiners, harnesses, ascenders, descenders, belay equipment, pulleys, quickdraws, ice axes, helmets and crampons from Gokyo and specialist climbing brands including Petzl, CAMP & Climbing Technology.

Carabiners for Climbing & Rope Systems

Carabiners are fundamental components in climbing and rope-management systems. Gokyo’s range includes screw-lock, straight-gate, HMS and other specialist configurations, with options from Gokyo, Petzl, CAMP and Climbing Technology. The Kaza Screw Lock Carabiner is specified to EN12275, while the wider collection allows climbers to select hardware according to the intended rope system and activity.

Harnesses, Ascenders & Descenders

The collection includes climbing harnesses for connecting the climber to a rope system, along with handled ascenders and descenders used during technical rope work. Current options include the Climbing Technology Ascent Harness, CAMP harnesses, the Climbing Technology Quick’Up+ Hand Ascender, CAMP Turbohand Pro and Figure-8 descenders from Climbing Technology and CAMP.

Crampons & Ice Equipment

Snow and icy terrain require equipment that provides suitable traction and stability. Gokyo’s collection includes pocket ice grips, steel circular-spike crampons and steel-tooth crampons for different levels of winter terrain, along with ice axes for mountaineering and frozen surfaces. Equipment compatibility should always be checked against the footwear and route requirements before use.

Belay Devices, Pulleys & Quickdraws

For technical climbing and rope systems, the range extends to belay hardware, pulleys and quickdraws. Current products include the CT Orbitor M Pulley, CT Duetto Twin Pulley, CT Berry 12 cm Quickdraw and several CAMP locking carabiner and belay configurations.

Equipment for Technical Climbs & Expeditions

Climbing equipment should be selected according to the route, activity, compatibility with the rest of the system and the climber’s technical requirements. A trekking route requiring occasional snow traction may need very different equipment from a rock climb, glacier crossing or high-altitude expedition. Gokyo’s collection currently spans 39 products across categories including carabiners, harnesses, belay devices, helmets, ice axes and other climbing gear.

FAQs

What climbing equipment do I need for mountaineering?
Requirements vary by route, but technical mountaineering may involve a climbing harness, suitable carabiners, helmet, rope-system hardware, ice axe and crampons. The exact equipment should be based on the terrain, expedition requirements and guidance from a qualified climbing professional.

What is a climbing harness used for?
A climbing harness connects the climber to the rope and associated protection or belay system. Gokyo’s current collection includes harnesses from Climbing Technology and CAMP.

What is the difference between an ascender and a descender?
An ascender is designed to move along a rope in one direction during rope ascent, while a descender helps control movement down a rope. Gokyo currently carries handled ascenders as well as Figure-8 descenders and other technical rope hardware.

When are crampons required?
Crampons or traction devices are used when additional grip is required on snow or ice. The correct type depends on terrain, footwear and the technical nature of the route. Gokyo’s collection ranges from compact ice grips to steel-spike and steel-tooth options.

What is a locking carabiner used for?
Locking carabiners are used in climbing systems where the gate needs additional security against accidental opening. The collection includes screw-lock and other locking configurations from Gokyo, Petzl, CAMP and Climbing Technology.

Can beginners buy climbing equipment online?
Yes, but technical climbing hardware should be chosen with care. Beginners should take guidance from a qualified instructor or expedition leader on equipment type, compatibility and correct use rather than selecting critical safety equipment only on price or appearance.

Do all crampons fit every trekking boot?
No. Compatibility depends on the crampon design and footwear construction. Fit and security should be checked carefully before using crampons on snow or ice.
