Adventures are better shared.

Friends who bring out the best in others are the ones you want to climb with. That extra psych and stoke might be the key to sending your problem.

That's what partners are for; To spot, to share snacks, and to split the load from trailhead to crag. We find more joy in climbing with friends because they push us up harder routes, and at the end of the day they're still willing to tape up our flapper.

After all, it takes a team to bring home the send train.

Product Description

The durable, traditional pack cloth construction and a no bulk design of the Rocky Mountain High Gaiters is all you need for solid all season performance. Pair these lightweight gaiters with hiking boots or cross country ski boots to keep rocks, dirt and light snow from finding its way into your footwear.
