In the spirit of everybody getting along during kwanzaa-hanukkah-christmas-ramadan, we thought you all might enjoy this, especially if you’ve ever seen one of these.

A couple weeks ago, we showed you how to accessorize yourself to look like a seasoned baller boulder. Not to leave anybody out, this week we’re doing the same for you tradsters out there.

The stitch plate: this belay device was invented circa 35 B.C. Although belay devices have come a long way since then, as a trad climber its you job to inform the world that the olden days were the golden days. The easiest way to do this is by using the shittiest belay device ever made.

Will Stanhope is a name you might know if you’re lucky or a name you won’t know if you’re an poor fool. He’s just a down to earth Canadian that silently crushes along as he travels about the world. He has a super pleasent demeanor and just absolutely owns the things he sets his sights on. Which is why he’s getting WW honors this week. He just made one of the more proud ascents I’ve ever heard of in the single pitch trad realm.
