We Can’t Believe This Climbing Gear Is on Sale Right Now
We recently released our 2025 summer climbing gear guides, with our newest field-tested picks for climbing shoes, helmets, ropes, and more. With the creme de la climb fresh on our minds, we were understandably stoked to see several of our picks included in REI’s annual Anniversary Sale. This is a great chance to fill out your gear closet with some high-caliber products at up to 30% off while the sale lasts (through May 26). Happy saving and sending.
1. La Sportiva TC Pro
$219.00 $164.19
This shoe is a classic for a reason, worn by everyone from Alex Honnold to trad dads across the country. The La Sportiva TC Pro is a stiff all-arounder that performs on everything from techy granite faces to splitter cracks. Climbers love it for its all-day comfort, reliable performance, and durability. We’ve long loved this shoe, and last reviewed it with accolades after a notable update in 2022.
2. La Sportiva Miura VS – Best Tech Shoe of 2025
$199.00 $149.19
We ranked the powerfully precise Miura VS as the Best Technical Shoe of 2025. It crushed on everything from heel hooks to overhanging granite. And this updated model is even more comfortable than before. (If you’re wondering what the difference is between the Miura and Miura VS, it’s just the closure—the Miura features lace-up, while the Miura VS sports Velcro straps).

3. Black Diamond Mondo Crashpad
$499.95 $374.89
In our roundup last year of the best crashpads, we loved the mega-sized Mondo for highballs, scary topouts, and solo sessions without a spotter. Of course, this means it’s also bomber for any bouldering problem. We also love that this super high-quality pad is made from 100% recycled shell fabric.
4. Black Diamond Hydra Ice Tool
$309.95 $232.39
This is your chance to get what is—in the opinion of Climbing editors and other testers—the best ice tool on the market right now at 25% off. Released last fall, the BD Hydra is brilliantly customizable and “swings like a dream.”
5. Black Diamond Vision Helmet
$99.95 $74.89
$139.95 $104.89 (MIPS version)
Our All-Around Best Helmet of 2025, the BD Vision is lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, which means you’ll actually want to wear it. We also love how easy it is to adjust. You can get this helmet with or without MIPS (multi-direction impact protection system, which helps reduce rotational forces upon impact).
6. Mammut Alpine Core Protect Rope (currently out of stock)
$239.95 $179.89 (8mm)
$289.95 $217.39 (9mm)
Featuring an internal sheath made from aramid (aka Kevlar), the Mammut Alpine Core Protect is designed to resist cuts. After significant field testing, we also crowned it as our Most Durable Rope of 2025. Whether it’s time to retire your last rope or you just want a safety upgrade for your summer climbing objectives, we can’t recommend this rope enough.
7. Mammut Sender Harness
$89.95 $67.39
Plenty of support without the weight? We’ll take it. The Mammut Sender Harness moves with you, while the waistband padding and breathable fabric makes extensive hangdogging as comfortable as it can be. That’s why we chose the Sender as the Best Projecting Harness of 2025.
