Using ultra-strong titanium, Ushba makes some of the lightest climbing gear in the world. With a higher strength-to-weight ratio than any other metal used for climbing gear such as ice screws and ascenders, titanium is an excellent choice for shaving ounces from your rack without compromising strength or safety. Unlike other manufacturers of titanium gear, Ushba extensively tests every piece and maintains CE safety certifications for all of their products.
