Yates Gear, a US company, was started by Jim and John Yates making climbing and especially big wall gear in the back of their garage back in the early 1980s and has seen sustained steady growth ever since. They have always held by the premise that their gear must be strong, durable, comfortable and as lightweight as possible - plus it must "really work", and to this end they have always listened to their climbing "buds", friends and customers to develop products that fit the ever changing demands of climbing.
Widely reckoned to be one of the easiest to use available. Available in a choice of colours.
The Adjustable Daisy Strap with built in "Screamer" is designed to reduce shock loading during aid climbing.
A simple adjustable gear sling with a laminated shoulder pad. Ideal for trad climbing.
Designed to be quick to bash in and so are particularly useful in awkward situations - lower holding power.
The six step Yates Big Wall Ladders have 2" (5cm) wide steps for comfort on extended pitches of sustained aid.
Many aid climbs have sections aided on rivets that require a loop of something to utilise them.
Harder to bash into a seam but give greater holding power than Aluminium Heads.
Double Copper Heads - ideal for smears that are long and narrow.
Round Heads are designed for pasting into horizontal cracks. The duckbill version is for deep cracks.
The Ice-Scream has a convenient tie-off mechanism for ice screws.
Round Heads (or Circle Heads) are designed for pasting into horizontal cracks.
A Screamer designed for "use on extremely marginal aid placements only"!
The standard Screamer can effectively reduce peak loads by 3-4kN.
The Shorty screamer offers the same properties as the standard Screamer but is more compact.
Yates Speed Wall Ladders are six step and have several advantages over standard etriers but are still lightweight - designed more for mixed aid use where they aren't in constant use.
Speed Stirrups are designed for speed jumaring and cleaning while aid climbing.
The Yates Superclip is a device which enables you to attach and retrieve quickdraws. Just add your own pole!
Gives the greatest reduction in peak loading of all Yates's screamers, 4-8kN.
