Climbing: check out CAMP's latest products for this trending sport

Once held as a practice for the very few, being considered an “extreme sport”, climbing is now regarded as almost fashionable, practiced by people of all ages. Crags see more and more climbers on the routes, with indoor climbing walls taking the helm: whenever a new one opens, it fills up in no time. And it’s not only an option for bad weather days: young and older people prefer climbing on plastic holds, where fun is guaranteed, both on set lines and artificial boulders. Still, sending a route at an outdoor crag, after many attempts, is something special. C.A.M.P. has been at the forefront of this success and has been producing ad hoc gear for decades, for beginners and experts alike, such as Janja Garnbret, Stefano Ghisolfi and Stefano Carnati. The Velocity harness is the big novelty for this season, featuring the innovative Smart Webbing Technology: see below for more information. As far as quickdraws and carabiners are concerned, the Photon Express KS remains the benchmark in terms of lightness, while the Nimbus Lock excels for its compactness and rounded design.
