Certification

Certifications

The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.

To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.

Little bro

Pros
Lightweight
Cons
Not useful in this size
Familiarity
I’ve used it a few of times

I was given one of these, and use it occasionally when I need a #4 placement in a parallel crack. For the price I would just get a cam for the equivalent size, big bros shine in the larger sizes.
