OUR LIGHTWEIGHT ETHOS

  • CAMP makes the lightest piece of gear in nearly every category we sell. Examples include the Nano 23 carabiners (lightest in the world) and Corsa ice axe (also the lightest in the world). For us, as a company, carrying a strong, lightweight ethos in the mountains is like taking a laxative when you really need one. Lightening your load has the serious potential to increase both performance and safety. If you feel like you need to give your rack or your pack an enema, you have come to the right place.

THREE FRENCHMEN SET INSANE SPEED RECORD ON THE HAUTE ROUTE

We were keyed into this by our athlete Fabrizio Zangrilli. He wrote to us, "You think you are fast or in shape? These guys just skied the entire Haute route in less than 19 hours. That's 3 days normally for fit people, 4-5 for anyone else!"

We can only hope the new record becomes a call to arms for the fastest long-distance rando buffs. It should serve to become for rando challenges what the speed record on The Nose has become today. The route covers 100+ kilometers and over 8350 meters of elevation. The new record is 18:50:29.
