View A Diagram of Key FeaturesJohn Salathe started climbing at the age of 45. Two years later he and Anton Nelson pioneered Yosemite style climbing by doing the first base to summit ascent of Lost Arrow Spire, with four nights of bivys. Our Salath bivy is named for this bold climb, where John Salathe wished he'd known about this piece of gear before spending several uncomfortable nights on the renowned big wall route. The Salath is our most versatile and technical bivy. Loaded with features which make it suitable for both summer and winter use. Use it for lying down in horizontal comfort or for sitting up on that tiny ledge cooking a meal while staying cocooned, dry and tied in This Canadian manufacturer has specialized in shelters for climbers since they were founded in the eighties. The tops of their sacks are made of tegraltex, a waterproof breathable material, and the floors are polyurethane coated. The models that they make that are most suitable for climbers are the South Col and the salathe. Both have eye level openings on the hood, which are ideal for ledges where you have to sit up. The zipper admits the rope. The South Col has a removable dood stiffener and no-see-um netting. The salathe has zips on both sides and three sliders on each, so you can use both arms while remaining in the bag.
