Portaledges

The portaledge, essential climbing gear for gaining height

To succeed in an ascent and spend several days without descending from your perch, it’s not just about climbing a lot. You also need to rest well at night to set off again the next day. How do you do that if you’re halfway up a cliff when night falls? Calmly set up your portaledge and spend the night with your head in the clouds. It will provide you with all the comfort and serenity needed to fall asleep quickly and enjoy a good night high up. When preparing your pack, the hunt for excess grams is on. That’s why the ideal portaledge must be lightweight and compact without sacrificing performance.

Whether facing the most extreme conditions of a summit ascent or simply enjoying a night suspended on the cliff several dozen metres above the ground, your portaledge should be quick to set up, lightweight, and manoeuvrable, offering you a perfectly waterproof tent fabric as well as optimal comfort. A true high-altitude dwelling, this stable platform will provide various storage options so you won’t lose or drop anything from your temporary cabin. Securely fixed to the wall, you can enjoy the landscape and the starry sky in complete serenity.
