The Reward Program

Now and until supplies last, if you make a mini-guide, send it to us and we accept it, you will receive free gear from Metolius. The guidelines are simple and the choice of gear is great. Here's how it works.

The Guidelines:
  • The mini-guide must be your own. You can use another guide as a reference, but all the drawings and descriptions must be by you.
  • You must send us a topo with the name, rating and description of each climbs or problems. Plus you must send us an overview map and a description of the area (intro, how to get there, what's the best time to visit, where to eat and camp, guidebook references if any, etc.)
  • The mini-guide must contains at least of 50 routes or boulder problems.
  • If you're not too good with computers, you can mail us hand drawings and we'll redraw them on the computer for you.
  • If this is the first guide to the area, make sure that the access to the crag is legal. If the crag is privately owned, make sure the owners do agree that the crag is mentioned in a guidebook.
  • We reserve the right to wait one month before sending you the gear in order to verify the information and make sure the access is good.
  • The ideal format is Adobe Illustrator but we accept other formats as well.
  • For now, the Program is only good for North America.
  • Residents of Canada and Mexico will have to pay for customs fee.


The Free Gear:
(Pick one of the following items)		  
  • Crag Station and Rock Rings and Team ­Tee shirt
    The Metolius Crag Station is the ideal easy access pack for a day at the crag or stow the straps for a perfect little duffle bag you can travel with.

  • Ultralight Power Cam Power Pack
    The all-around workhorse of the Metolius line, Power Cams are at home on any type of rock, from the big walls of Squamish granite to the desert towers of Utah Sandstone, from mountainous Rockies limestone to super-hard Gunks quartzite. With our new Range Finder feature giving you instant placement feedback, they are easier and safer to place than ever! Your choice of #1-4 or #5-8.

  • Ultralight Curve Nut Set and Astro Nut ­ Free Set
    The patented Curve Nut shape offers all the advantages of existing curved nut designs (3 points of contact), but it is naturally more stable in flares, and because they have a straight taper from top to bottom, it is much easier to judge placement quality. These nuts paired with our smaller silicon bronze Astro Nuts will give you our full range of bomber free climbing passive pro nut placements.

  • Safe-Tech Sport or All-Round Harness with Shield Haul Pack
    Safe Tech is the culmination of a harness safety campaign that has been almost ten years in the making! We are building safety into the harness itself, so that when someone makes a critical mistake (like belaying off a gear loop or tying-in improperly), there is a backup system in place that will catch the mistake and nullify it! Your choice of All-Around or Sport.
