TeamTrango Belay
Great climbing starts on the ground.
Catherine “CLad” Ladner, Ty Hardaway, Meagan Knecht and Noah Makaiwi bring a quiet kind of excellence to the rope. They have belayed at the highest levels of competition, caught the hardest falls and earned the trust of elite athletes.
As Trango supports World Climbing Lead competition with safety equipment through 2028, TeamTrango Belay represents what great belaying demands: attention, consistency, composure and responsibility.
