Built to live on a harness. Each Ascent Aid pouch is purpose-built around the equipment it carries—keeping critical medical supplies compact, organized, and accessible. Multiple attachment options allow the pouch to clip securely to your harness or anchor for quick access when it matters.
Constructed from a technical waterproof fabric with a 300-denier outer face, the pouch offers excellent abrasion resistance for life on the rock. Made with recycled materials, it’s exceptionally strong without unnecessary bulk.
The Ascent Aid pouch is not strength-rated and is not intended for use as load-bearing climbing equipment or personal protection.

Don’t crux out during a crisis.
The CruxCard™ Medical Guide is a thoughtfully designed series of durable, waterproof reference cards packed with essential first-aid information for climbers.

Compact enough to live in your kit and organized for quick reference under stress, CruxCard™ puts critical information at your fingertips when help may be far away.
CruxCard™ is a proprietary educational reference and is not a substitute for medical training or professional medical care.
