There are many different facets of climbing, depending on the methods, locations, and climbing rules: cliffs, multi-pitch routes, bouldering, gyms, indoor and outdoor, to name just a few. To this list I would add climbing in the Dolomites, which in my opinion is a world apart.

Here we tell you which Ortovox clothing and accessories we were equipped with.

Ortovox – 150 Cool Brand TS

• Optimal climate regulation thanks to merino wool

• TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers: natural dry sensation thanks to humidity regulation

• Innovative manufacturing process for tear and abrasion resistance

The 150 MERINO COOL line from Ortovox combines the perfect features for intensive tours: soft merino wool regulates temperature, while TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers, sourced from responsibly managed forests, effectively wick moisture, for a naturally dry skin feel and fewer unpleasant odors. The quick-drying shirts are also more durable thanks to Betaspun® spinning technology, a process in which the fibers are wrapped with polyamide filaments.

• Lightweight and functional

• Integrated zip pocket and key ring

The TRAD CHALKBAG combines a casual look with the functionality of a climbing chalk bag. The wide, sturdy opening allows for unobstructed access to the chalk inside and can be securely closed with a drawstring. The soft interior material quickly and reliably dispenses the perfect amount of chalk. The stretchy side compartment offers space for an energy bar, and the zippered pocket is perfect for keeping your phone safe and close at hand. It includes a toothbrush holder and emergency card. Whether you’re in the mountains or on a climbing wall, the TRAD CHALKBAG is lightweight yet offers all the features you need.
