With the arrival of spring, the cliffs become populated again: the days get longer, the rock dries out and the climate becomes ideal for returning to experience the walls with your bare hands. There are those who have never stopped frequenting them, even during the coldest months, but for many climbers this is the time to dust off the equipment and get back to training, between new projects to “close” and vertical dreams to chase.

When climbing, the grade and beauty of the rock matter, but there is one aspect that comes first: safety. Knowing how to recognize reliable materials, carefully designed and conceived for the technical gesture, is fundamental. This is where the experience of Climbing Technology comes into play, a brand that, thanks to the synergy with SKYLOTEC, carries out continuous research to create increasingly innovative and high-performance products.
ABO: ultralightness and comfort at the service of performance
Designed for high-level sport climbing, competitions and technical mountaineering, the ABO harness is a small masterpiece of design and functionality. Weighing just 135 grams (size M-L), it offers a snug and comfortable fit thanks to an anisotropic fabric that distributes loads without the need for padding.
Made with post-consumer recycled materials and derived from the world of sailing, ABO is also a sustainable and climate neutral choice. Its seamless belay loop, reflective bands and adjustable leg loops make it a technical harness, but designed for intuitive use. Compact and foldable, it easily fits into a backpack or even a pocket.
MORFO SET UL PRO: when every gram counts
In the world of quickdraws, the new MORFO SET UL PRO is among the lightest in its category (only 107 g in the 12 cm version), but without compromising on strength and reliability. Its hot-forged light alloy carabiners, the tapered UHMWPE sling and the Fixbar and Fixit systems that prevent rotations and wear, make it perfect for shots at your limit, where every detail makes the difference.
MORFO BG: advanced safety and smooth maneuvers
For the most critical belays and connections, the MORFO BG carabiner offers a winning combination of lightness, ergonomics and maximum safety. Thanks to the BriLock system, which combines the simplicity of the screw sleeve with an additional automatic locking. Ideal in “neutral” mode to avoid accidental openings, or in “open” to speed up maneuvers.
With an optimal D-shape for unidirectional loads, a snag-free nose and a comfortable grip, it is a reliable companion both at the crag and on multi-pitch routes.
CLICK UP+: the ideal companion for those who insure
Among the most intuitive and appreciated belay devices, CLICK UP+ further improves the ease of use of its predecessor. Suitable for both lead and top-rope climbing, the V-Proof system guarantees assisted braking activation even in the event of an error in the rope angle. An innovation that reduces the margins of error, making belaying even safer.
The device works with dynamic ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm and is sold together with the HMS CONCEPT SGL HC, a carabiner with anti-wear anodization and ACL system.
PURE CRUNCH: grip and sustainability
Finally, no climb is truly complete without excellent chalk. PURE CRUNCH is Climbing Technology’s proposal for those looking for grip and sustainability: synthetic chalk in pieces, produced with 100% renewable energy and packaged in recyclable paper. Pure formula and high-quality ingredients to take care of both your hands and the environment.
